AAAAGH! I'M BLIND!

There is seriously something wrong at Microsoft (tip o' the antlers to David Chartier on the Twitter).

[Splashes]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . .

(deep breath)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA . . .

(wipes tears of mirth from eyes)

Un-be-frickin'-leivable. Can anyone imagine Apple producing such a cringe-inducing piece of video foolishness?

What comes immediately to mind is that 1996 interview of Steve Jobs: "The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. I don't mean that in a small way; I mean that in a big way."

Well, if nothing else, Microsoft is always good for a laugh.

A part of me has quietly died...

The reader comments were priceless, however.

[IronicMoth]

I am still in shock, to be honest.
@MATTAND: I know what you mean, I am forever traumatized by this experience.

[monkyhead]

The irony is... there is no irony.

and it goes on for three minutes
mercy, mercy, please...........

"the MicroSoft Sales team rocks" I think this is on the rocks like a ship wreck, remember the Titanic?
but then it does kind of explain the product and why no one wants it.

This one is worse. It's even worse than the MS-DOS 5 Rap.

[Foulone]

So is this video the new *roll.

Noooooo!!!!!. I have be MicroRolled or MSrolled or SoftRolled.

Oh I give up....

[Sigivald]

Those reader comments were priceless... pricelessly stupid.

I've seen other MS internal video; they deliberately do cheesy. It's a joke.

That people assume "omg itz from MS it muzt be SERIOUSES and for real ADVERTIZINGZ!" is their own damned problem.

(As I see Gizmodo has noted since the first publication: "UPDATE: The video is an internal spoof, an insider confirms."

Told you.)

[b1ip]

Dude, it's clearly an internal video, it's meant to be funny. Ha ha. Funny, you know, chortle, funny. But.... it isn't, it's so cringeworthy I can see Uncle Cringe wimpering in the corner. Yes, those are real tears of cringe.

[Macalope]

Hey, the Macalope saw the one they did on "If Microsoft had designed the iPod package" and that was *awesome*. This is just awful. It was obviously a spoof but it was not funny as a spoof. It's not funny under any pretext or no matter how much nitrous you've had.

But wait, there's more!
