iPod comingzune ad... thoughts?

[thegreatunknown]

this ad has probably been floating for awhile but I just came across it and was curious what people thought about it, i.e. the meaning behind the giant, rabbit, tiny person, and what occurs.

Man that the heck is that supposed to signify?

I liked the video as it's own entity, but seriously, what does that have to do with zune?!

The wierdo man is that fat crazy one from Microsoft, whatshisface?

And the rabbit is their 'creation'.

And they're grooming it, trying to temp the customer into their sick little word of old sweaty men, and stroking bunny rabbits! (or to buy a Zune, maybe)

Who knows with Microsofts twisted logic!

That ad freaked me out. Maybe that's the point? All I know is, there are a 1000 ways to read in to it, and most of them aren't good...

MS haven't realised that the guys doing the ads in the PR agency they've hired are high.

A little "of Mice and Men" thing going on there?

its quite odd I must admit. My first instinct I thought it showed a play on MS and Apple where the rabbit was the consumers but I couldn't figure who was Apple and who was MS. I could have argued it either way. anyway the lyrics to the song make it even weirder:

They made a statue of us
And it put it on a mountain top
Now tourists come and stare at us
Blow bubbles with their gum
Take photographs for fun, for fun

They'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault
Then they'll give us a talking to
Then they'll give us a talking to
Because they've got years of experience
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

We wear our scarves just like a noose
But not 'cause we want eternal sleep
And though our parts are slightly used
New ones are slave labor you can keep

We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
We're living in a den of thieves
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
The tourists come and stare at us
The sculptor's mama sends regards
They made a statue of us
They made a statue of us
Our noses have begun to rust
We're living in a den of thieves
Rummaging for answers in the pages
Were living in a den of thieves

And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious
And it's contagious

Is it just me or does anyone else expect the rabbit the bite the head off the little dude?
