    Someone just got fired. Hopefully an entire team.

     

    Did anyone download them? I hope someone downloaded them.

    What?...No...That's not real is it? Is this a wind up?

    HA HA HA! What, does this begin the era of "Steve Ballmer would never…"? :lol:

    Gruber already started the era of "Never would have happened if Steve Ballmer were still alive."

    This video is marked "private". Way to go, AppleInsider.

    So sad.  Not even funny and makes no sense at all.  Really quite *below* the level of "College Humour" or cracked.com

     

    I'm all for sending up Apple and I don't think it's a bad tactic from an advertising point of view, but this is just a poor effort all round.  

     

    Can't we get more interesting articles here?  Like what about talking about whether the iPad mini will get the A7?  Or whether it will come in gold?

    Unbelievable. I'm glad I got to see it all before it went down.

    Somebody at MS screwed up bigtime.

     

    Before they pulled the video or made it private, it had way more dislikes than likes.

     

    Come on, putting a Steve Jobs cancer era look alike in your video? How low can you go?

    Not true. Apple wasn't mocking the users, it was mocking Windows.

    Did you forget this?

    This from the company who gave us a brown Zune?

    That guy has a striking resemblance to Steve Jobs- much more than Tim. Pretty despicable ads. Microsoft always tends to somehow set the bar even lower.

    Can we really call that an ad? Nah.

    I don't recall seeing the face. You read too much into it.

    I don't think so.

     

    It was clearly Steve Jobs and Jony Ives sitting in that chair, and that was their intention also.

    No. Nor '1984' before it. But that wasn't the ad campaign he was talking about. You know it.

    Whoever gave the green light to this needs to be fired, and so does the ad agency.

    Trying to think of something positive to say...

     

    They were pretty quick in responding, I guess?

     

    Wow, beyond terrible.

    Too resurrect the dead?  What did STeve Jobs have to do with a gold 5s? You're pushing it. 

    If anything it was Tim- showing a naked man to him. Now that was offensive.
