How bad is "hurl yourself out a window" bad?
As part of the launch effort of Windows 7, Microsoft wants you to throw launch parties showing off their new OS to your friends. Even though the idea had potential, the pitch for it is a heap of disingenuous fail:
Even though the actors hit the talking points well and offer up some good activity ideas, the vibe of the pitch was terrible. The biggest culprit is probably the condescending laughter that happened every few seconds. It's hard to imagine anyone mistaking insincerity of this magnitude for anything remotely close to amicable, yet here we are with another dud.
One thing's for sure - bad advertising equals parodies galore.
