Bill Gates Stars in $300 Million Dollar Blockbuster

The NFL season finally kicked off yesterday, meaning we can all stop pretending to like baseball again, thank god. This also means that large companies finally have a guaranteed way to reach a whole bunch of 18-49 year old men. Microsoft decided to use this awesome resource to blow us all away with this masterpiece of comedic genius:



Here are my reactions:

• WTF was that?
• How on earth could this "Delicious" campaign ever live up to the $300 million they are spending on it?... I mean, they aren't really going to have edible computers, right? Scratch'n'sniff, maybe, but I have my doubts.
• "Is that the Conquistador?" - ok, that was chuckle worthy. Also, Bill Gates comedic timing and facial expressions were pretty decent, considering.

These ads had pretty high expectations, and so far they've left us fairly confused, and buying more Macs. Maybe next time they should spend $300 million dollars making Vista not suck, then they won't need to impress us with ads.

(For what will undoubtedly be an amusing rant about the actual outcome of the game and the Redskins punting on 4 and 1 a million times, there will be a post about that here when the blogger stops crying long enough to type)
