Microsoft's Vagina.

DeVore

Do you know, in all the years I have been doing this and in my most fevered drug-infused nightmares I never thought I would ever create a thread with that subject but... well, here we are.

I really don't know what to say except that this is the excruciatingly awkward video from the MS Developers conference opening. I dont know which bit is really the worst, the atrocious Costa-del-Sol "tekno" , the lyrics ("the words Micro and Soft have nothing to do with my penis"), the continued stereotype of coding being a male "thing" or the fact that they put "(or vagina)" in the subtitles beneath the stage at 1m 30s in.

Its.... its.... its just.... it exists. Here:

Wow. :eek:

Yeah, I got about 49 seconds in before I gave up. But in those 49 seconds (that I'll never get back, might I add deV), I never once saw any vaginas. Thread disappoints.

Wait. Huh. Erm.

Did Microsoft actually use the joke, "the words Micro and Soft won't apply to my penis?"

Kensington

Sweet... Jesus... Was that genuine or a very lousy piss take?

:eek:

It looks like they got the creators of LazyTown to choreograph everything.

Jimoslimos

Was that Scooter? If so, good to see they haven't lost that song-writing knack...."xml is my xtc"

southcentralts

I'm a software developer and developing for the rest of my life, was this song written by a computer?

dr.bollocko

They really just took the nyancat concept and ran with it.

Though to be fair "XML is my ecstasy". That's a powerful anti-drug message.

Developer conferences. Not even once.

Professey Chin

I have no idea what just happened

Lando Griffin

I will never use another product made by this or associated with this company.

This reminds me that "Microserfs" is a really good book.

TeddyTedson

Think they're trying too hard to go viral.
Suck bewbs though

Paparazzo

If you want someone to click on your thread, putting the word "vagina" in the title is a good start

Microsoft and their "but wait, there's more" box packing execs, trained by scientologists.

And young, confused, teen Kitahiko from Tokyo suddenly knew what his future had in store when he watched the mixed up Youtube video from Microsoft. He was to be; to be a developer.

Had to laugh....penis (or vagina). It is true though theres Feck all female developers never mind hot.

Wibbs

Let's be honest Microsoft were never exactly on the cutting edge of style and taste, save for the odd outlier and those seemed to bring them out in a rash, but bloody hell that's beyond embarrassing. :eek:

at 1:33 in the video. Flashes "Penis (or Vagina)" on the lyrics screen.

Why are so many smartphone users so utterly retarded?
When shooting video, hold the phone in landscape, for fuck's sake.

I'm pretty sure (not watching that again), the 'joke' they used was "the words Micro and Soft won't apply to my penis (or vagina)"

DeVore

I'm not sure why MS would be proud of large, hard vajayjays.

I paused Daft Punk to look at that crap.

Well Paul Allen swans around the place in yachts surrounded by bevvies of pneumatic women and restores WW2 fighter planes for fun, so that's OK. Then again he left the fold early enough. Apple's version of him Steve Wozniak does Dancing with the stars in the US and appears on the big bang theory, so that's... eh wait a minute:D Actually Apple should nick that video and use it in an advertising campaign to convince people to pay extra for their overpriced stuff cos MS is just so... awkward.

Bestill my beating heart. :eek: No wonder some among the geek world thought Steve Jobs was "cool", compared to Bill he was a cigar chomping polar bear, in a freezer, wearing a leather jacket.

A co-worker summarized this as "Now we know developers are all about lsd, xtc, and having large, hard vaginas". Which is a completely accurate summary. ;_;

My favourite bit of that clip is at 0:22 when he hurts his leg when he stomps down, he even lets out a little yelp when he does it!

That video is very like something the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin would devise for visiting delegates.
