trying to create that "funny story about nothing" feel.............FAIL!

they gave up

"hey, we still have all this media. what's up?"

"give it to seinfeld. c'mon it's happy hour."

300 million US $ later...

I like Bill's face, he looks dumb and sincere as usual. And I really like his card. lol

However, the ad is way too long.

Reblogged it at my fun collection:

I expected a lot more from Crispin Porter + Boguski.

So much was talked when they got the Microsoft account.Will they beat macintosh´s spots? everybody asked.

They failed big time.

Seek and Destroy

They are in trouble now.

this sucks. cp is starting to smell of bbdo 1986. how about bringing back michael j fox?

That film is like the nail in Microsoft's coffin. The last nail.
Or should I wait to see where they go with this before I pass judgement?...

I expected a lot more from Crispin Porter + Boguski.
This ad makes me feel dumb everytime i try to understand it. And i certainly can corelate that feeling with the one i feel everytime i use Windows Vista and the thing breaks on me.
Maybe that was the point all along - broken system broken ad. Wow! It's brilliant now!

Bogusky said that on the new Microsoft account, they would be mercenaries. Ooops.

what is the purpose of this ad? I mean...seriously.

Hm, 17 more negative reviews. Yeah, I'd say this one's a flop.

I guess this was expected when all the creatives work on a Mac and love Apple.

Maybe they won MS just to sink it completely and so far it is doing just that.

...yet knowing CPB, I expect the reveal to set everything straight.

And Bill Gates put himself in this dumb thing and made himself look... er, well bad!!!!

~~this paranoid survived!~~

man, this is terrible! Did Bill Gates tell his agency that he wanted to be loved? To be worshipped, to have his own cult following like that...that BASTARD Steve Jobs? Pathetic...

It proves that Crispin Porter can and does write shit ads too!

True. It's almost a relief to know that.

what the...? okay this was totally lost on me...
