how is microsoft still in business?



It is absolutely astounding that this exists. That money was spent on this. That people approved it. I know the money must flow out of faucets over there, but couldn't you hire a better conceptual team for this?

At first, you'll think it's bad on purpose, and all a part of the joke. But as you get about halfway through, you realize there's no punch line. It's real. Real embarrassing. Reboot, please.

Actually, this kind of thing is not uncommon at corporate sales conventions. I've seen it at my former employers and last September, my band was hired to play 3-4 songs per night for 3 nights at a corporate function. $12K plus expenses. We had to play "Takin' Care of Business", but the VP of Marketing had changed the lyrics to be about the company's past year's performance. Every bit as hokey as this video.

They’re in business precisely because of this kinda thing. The masses don’t mind.
