Are you going to host a Windows 7 launch party?

solefald · 09-29-2009, 05:18 PM

Because Microsoft has a video tutorial on how to set that shit up and make it fucking epic. However, for some reason this strikes me as either a botox party or a tupperware party preparation. Not anything even remotely computer related.

and if you think this shit is fake, you are in for a surprise. this is 100% authentic marketing campaign for and by people with no friends and social skills, because no one else would think about "inviting Windows 7 as one of the guests"... to ramp up the guest count from 0 to 1.

This slightly edited version is better:

I hope these parties coincide with halloween, so I can dress up as a computer virus and crash some parties.

jopa489 · 09-29-2009, 11:21 PM

Wow. That was brutal. It was so bad, I couldn't stop watching. Made me cringe.

I listened to it while browsing pictures of Rosie O'donnell. I'm not going to lie, I fapped furiously.

This is so poor its quite frankly unbelievable. Unfortunately, the rest of the world watches and thinks - Is this really what Americans are like?
