That Microsoft Ad

<div class="IPBDescription">Have a vomit receptacle handy</div>A really good dig at Microsoft or a message-at-all-costs piece of viral marketing aimed solely at reminding you about <i>Windows 7</i>'s impending launch? Whatever it is, the creators have chosen to remain anonymous. A quick google revealed no official endorsement of the advert from Microsoft and nobody coming forward to claim authorship. Ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to see carries a severe health warning* (but hopefully you'll just choke up a bit of sick and be mostly okay). I present for you - <i>Hosting Your Party</i>

Ill-advised high quality link here, if you can bear it: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cX4t5-YpHQ&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cX4t5-YpHQ...player_embedded</a>

And now for the shorter and much more bearable parody:

    So I didn't manage to bear more than two minutes of the first video, but actually, Microsoft will pay everything for your party, as long as it's Windows 7 themed. Not something I'd do, but hey, free party. And you get a special "I sold my soul" edition of Windows 7

    Had I watched more than the two oh-so-agonizing minutes, check.

    Also, if you start seeing a bright light at the end of a tunnel and hear familiar voices calling you towards it, turn AWAY. Once you've seen them, they won't want to let you leave...

    constantly bleeping out every other word is really funny. i highly recommend these videos to comedy enthusiasts.
