This here's a Google video of a Microsoft promotional video sent out to retailers in the late 80s to tout all the awesome new features of Windows for the 386. The Google video description says it all: "Boring until the 7 minute mark when the production is taken over by crack-smoking monkeys."

Kids, this is what cocaine did for the 80s. And perhaps Patrick Bateman targeted the wrong people.

I don't know what this says about me and my checkered adolescence, but the coke-addled shift at the seven-minute mark reminded me of nothing so much as mid 80s hardcore pornography. I kept expecting the blonde chick to get naked (or, more likely, strip down to some hot pink garter belt ensemble) and start seducing the nerdy guy who comes in with the 1-2-3 files.

Actually, what it most reminded me of were (1) "how not to do sexual harassment" training videos, and (2) the late-night infomercials from the mid-1990s for the Philips CD-i, which seemed mostly designed to convince you that a Philips CD-i would make your life hell.
