hell0 all,
hmm clown club… work good. That’s really seems interesting part at shop circus. Here are good adds and I won’t like add but looking at tinyurl.com seems interesting. I guess this is still a warm up act to the real thing, which will presumably get into more details on what Microsoft does and will do to connect people.

[...] Il est souvent difficile pour des comédiens ayant incarné des rôles mémorables, de personnages remarquables par leurs caractères, et sur le très long terme – pour Seinfeld, neuf saisons, 180 épisodes – de se reconvertir. Certains, il est vrai, font logiquement le choix d’en rester là. C’est le cas de Jerry Seinfeld lui-même, qui, incarnant son propre rôle dans sa série, a préféré se reposer sur son tapis de millions, pour se contenter de participer à des doublages de dessins animés et à des publicités extrêmement rémunératrices.

Hello, I’m a mac. And I’m Bill Gates just trying to appear hip and cool in my retirement. That’s why I’ve hired this really hip and cool guy: Jerry Seinfeld. All the kids dig Seinfeld, right? So…Microsoft+Seinfeld=cool. Get it?

No William. I don’t get it. I really. don’t. get. it.

This commercial was simply brilliant. Jerry Seinfeld is too funny. Combined with bill gates’ Oscar winning performance this commercial was worth every penny. “clothes in the shower”, i mean that is pure gold.

Really?! Is nobody getting it? The whole blogospehere is talking about this ad, yes in a expected (negative) manner but you can bet your ass that’s strategy.

The situation is that Microsoft just can’t do anything good anymore these days and everybody is just aping each others opinion (saw the Mojave experiment?) which is just not fair, even considering the failures.

So in a situation where MS is already on the floor and everyone is kicking them. A expensive ad in wich they claim how great Vista is and that we should buy it, would be immediately axed by the biased blogosphere and that would be the end of it.
So no they didnt come out with something the public could (again) further bash on, they came out with something no one seems to actually get in the first place.

So now there is a whole blogosphere out there with sharpened pencils waiting to axe whatever comes out of the gates.. and guess what now they have the difficult job to axe something they don’t get.
You see that al these anonymous loudmouths are trying to make sense of it and are desperately seeking an excuse, to link the ad to Vista, wich they actually cant… , try to criticize the agency, wich they actually cant.

The only thing we can do is talk about it… and at the same time come to a sad realization that there is simply nothing to pick on, ending up being confronted with your own negative mindset that bothers you in the first place, not Microsoft.
