Not funny.
Not clever.
Projectile vomiting.
Stupid acronyms.

Who the hell clears these ideas and throws money at it?

That's quite a good summary of Microsoft in general.

Agreed. Pretty disgusting but, who else can "stand in the tall grass and piss with the big dogs" ??

Sadly, no one.

Should I copyright it before they tagline this in their future campaigns?

hey, thumps up for projectile vomit!

otherwise, yeah, not very good ads. can't see much difference to the mac ads with the 'mac guy' and 'pc guy' though, except that the mac ads were big bucks broadcast quality production and these just cheap crap for web. a small plus for the MS ability to laugh at themselves. where as the mac ads basically said 'pc-users are idiots, buy a mac so you can be cool instead'. which is something VR might come up with.

but yeah, crap ads, no argument there.
