I'm using WUH WUH WUH WINDOWS!

[spatch]

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.

Wow. The music is SO BAD. They completely de-syncopated it.

It's interesting to see how much the interface has changed... and yes, the 7 minute mark is priceless.

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.

Oh my goodness. o.O

I find it hard to imagine that this ever evoked the "gee whiz" response they were looking for. And the disrobing bit made me extremely uncomfortable; a cheap attempt to sex up this ghastly production. And then at the end, her fulfillment comes when a man offers her some flowers.

The whole thing makes me itch. How did these people take over the world?

I may not sleep tonight.

Am I the only one that thinks they should have gotten Bruce McCulloch to play Linda? It looks exactly like an extended skit he'd write.

And is that what rap sounded like to ultra-whites in the late 80s? Those poor bastards.

I think what disturbs me the most is that she must have changed from 80s rocker back to business attire with the guy still in the room. No wonder he was awed and asked her out to dinner.

Crack monkeys!
