Microsoft have always had terrible ads.  Whether it’s Steve Ballmer having some kind of fit, or a 7 year old making some crappy photo album, they categorically confirm that they don’t really give a shit about how they come off because 90% of the computer-buying public will relent and fork out for windoze anyway.  The recent examples of truly shocking Microsoft advertising are contained in this post.  The first video, below, is nearly 7 minutes of what feels like some kind of psychiatric hospital induction video.  I won’t go into quite how retarded it is, because I could be here until my new copy of Windows 7 finally installs.  Needless to say, when it does, I won’t be planning any kind of launch party for this clusterfuck.  Next abortive attempt at “clever” marketing after the jump.

Wait, what?  1.  She’s vomiting on that dude.  That’s not at all funny or entertaining.  Have the marketing monkeys not heard of 2 girls 1 cup?  2.  It’s Dean whatshisface from Superman.  Huh?  All Apple have to do, whatever faux pas they make here on in, is just go: “well Microsoft committed the advertising equivalent of genocide a couple of weeks back.  Wanna see?”
