Is this what they splashed their money on? Not once do they say to use Vista.

mattlinder · 08-09-2008, 16:37

Do they really have to? If we're talking about it...it's working.

fasterthanlight · 08-09-2008, 16:39

Their aim is to revamp their image, not the products

"Oh hai! We have humorz too you know! weeeeee! I like butterflies!!"

and their plan is working,

That is to say, if they wanted everyone to go "Err.. bill gates wtf r u doin to yer anus"

it's one of the WORST ad campaigns I have ever seen. It makes NO sense, is NOT funny and niether of the motherfuckers needs the $$$$.

The ad agency behind this as well as the whole slew at MS should be taken out back and shot.

And then eye-socket raped

Idea basically:

Our products have such penetration in the market, that we don't have to advertise. Look, our founder is a good guy. Continue to trust us. Thanks.

-- and yet, here is our advertisement proving that we do not need to advertise. (it still has a logo at the end)

I'm still trying to figure out Gate's booty shake.... does that mean he still likes me and wants to go on a date?

i'm never shopping at the shoe circus ever again.

fasterthanlight · 08-09-2008, 18:11

Soup Of The Day · 08-09-2008, 18:12

Shoe Circus' shoes are made of puppy skin

Scott · 08-09-2008, 18:21

did anybody else think that was a total pile of bollocks?

pgo · 08-09-2008, 19:06

Yes.

But that's marketing.

fasterthanlight · 08-09-2008, 19:08

Poor marketing at that

pgo · 08-09-2008, 19:57

Definitely.
