I haven't read Gawker in a while, so I decided to check up before going to bed tonight and found this truly wretched commercial made by Microsoft. It's to promote a new software program called "Songsmith" and the ad is so terrible I'm actually angry now. Seriously, I'm angry that this was made and people spent money on this, I'm angry that the person who approved this entire project along the way probably gets paid ten times what I do, and I'm furious at how unbelievably out of touch a company with such bountiful resources has once again proved they can be. Honestly, what the shit is going on over there? I'm not an advertising person, but I'm not a film producer either but I know Howard the Duck was bad. I don't even want to post the link to the commercial, but if you don't see it you'll just think I'm being irrational. That said, here is the 4 minutes and change reason that I am going to bed angry tonight. Seriously, I'm in a bad place right now, Microsoft, and it's all your fault. It's a similar feeling to that of when I heard NBC's boy genius (wild sarcasm), Ben Silverman, was bringing back remakes of both Knight Rider and The Bionic Woman... NBC, Microsoft... you're on notice.

Wow, I have a ton of posts to catch up on. I didn't realize you had written so much here! Looks like I have my work for the week cut out for me.
Wow, I finally got around to watching the video ... and you are right. It's awful.
