Microsoft gets a low-blow

So we've talked about the Microsoft ads and how great they are yada yada yada and how much they spent on it, all-in-all to counter mac. However, the truth is that the ads themselves were created on macs! Hidden information from the images on the Microsoft website revealed the frightening truth and makes it all super ironic (note the "Software" information, 4th line down).

It's understandable though, because the ads were most likely produced by an agency, not within Microsoft, and most design agencies DO use mac so it wasn't quite a surprise. But nonetheless, still feels like a shot to the kidney when this sort of stuff happens.

Microsoft is jibbing their own brand

Alright to start off, don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those haters against Microsoft (even though I HAVE laughed at their numerous blue screen jokes, including the latest one) and they are pretty cool amazing in a lot of things they have done. However, the latest I'm a PC ads just don't really cut it, some are quite good but some are really border-line crap and THEN now their new mouse with some new technology has this ad below:

LOL what a nice way to torture a mouse though, honestly I thought the mouse's brain would've blown up already because of all the air pressure and what-not science that I don't get. It has NOTHING to do with anything at all. On a metaphorical level I think it's too far of a stretch too from this mouse to that mouse, even though it is kind of funny but you'll forget it after 2 more Youtube videos probably.

People thought the early Sony PlayStation 3 ads were weird...I think this is somewhere up to par as well, or maybe I am just an idiot who doesn't get branding at all -- what can I say, I'm just an average consumer like 90% of the people who watches the ads.
