Are you going to host a Windows 7 launch party?

solefald · 09-29-2009, 04:18 PM

Because Microsoft has a video tutorial on how to set that shit up and make it fucking epic. However, for some reason this strikes me as either a botox party or a tupperware party preparation. Not anything even remotely computer related.

and if you think this shit is fake, you are in for a surprise. this is 100% authentic marketing campaign for and by people with no friends and social skills, because no one else would think about "inviting Windows 7 as one of the guests"... to ramp up the guest count from 0 to 1.

To quote Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist James Lileks, one Washington Post reader wrote: "If Microsoft had been put in charge of marketing sex, the human race would have ended long ago, because no one would be caught dead doing something that uncool."

This slightly edited version is better:

I hope these parties coincide with halloween, so I can dress up as a computer virus and crash some parties.

Did anybody see the microsoft ad for that song software? I think it was called songsmyth or something. Probably the worst ad of all time.

edit: Found it. Be careful though. This commercial is so awful, you may feel that precious moments of your life have been wasted watching it.

jopa489 · 09-29-2009, 10:21 PM

Wow. That was brutal. It was so bad, I couldn't stop watching. Made me cringe.

I listened to it while browsing pictures of Rosie O'donnell. I'm not going to lie, I fapped furiously.

I love the part in the party vid, where the lady says that one of the activiites to do at this party, is to describe your favorite windows7 features. Yup, thats what I want to do at a party, list my favorite windows7 stuff, lol.

For a company that has so much money, I cant believe they wont hire a decent advertising company. With Ballmer as the CEO and these ads, I think Bill Gates wants to secretly see if he can destroy Microsoft. He created it and it blossomed over night, now he wants to see how fast he can destroy it. Vista and the zune were great moves.

good thing i'm reading your comments and skipping the videos

yeah, we're going to have several hour long install party....waiting for W7 to install LOL

This is so poor its quite frankly unbelievable. Unfortunately, the rest of the world watches and thinks - Is this really what Americans are like?
