That Microsoft Ad

<div class="IPBDescription">Have a vomit receptacle handy</div>A really good dig at Microsoft or a message-at-all-costs piece of viral marketing aimed solely at reminding you about <i>Windows 7</i>'s impending launch? Whatever it is, the creators have chosen to remain anonymous. A quick google revealed no official endorsement of the advert from Microsoft and nobody coming forward to claim authorship. Ladies and gentlemen, what you are about to see carries a severe health warning* (but hopefully you'll just choke up a bit of sick and be mostly okay). I present for you - <i>Hosting Your Party</i>

Ill-advised high quality link here, if you can bear it: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cX4t5-YpHQ&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cX4t5-YpHQ...player_embedded</a>

And now for the shorter and much more bearable parody:

    So I didn't manage to bear more than two minutes of the first video, but actually, Microsoft will pay everything for your party, as long as it's Windows 7 themed. Not something I'd do, but hey, free party. And you get a special "I sold my soul" edition of Windows 7

    Had I watched more than the two oh-so-agonizing minutes, check.

    Also, if you start seeing a bright light at the end of a tunnel and hear familiar voices calling you towards it, turn AWAY. Once you've seen them, they won't want to let you leave...
