Megawoosh - Microsoft Viral Ad

[mscriv]

Hey have you guys seen this thing yet. Apparently, it's a Microsoft add from Germany.

Turns out the official recipe for fun and the way to create an Internet sensation are the same: Start with a megacorporation, add in a group of Germans on a hillside, liberally take advantage of slick editing software and let the power of the Web do its thing. ....

One big question is whether this will help to reposition Microsoft as a force to be reckoned with in the collective mind of the world's tech-obsessed masses. For the better part of this decade to date, that's been pretty much dominated by Apple. You know, the iMac, the iPod, the iPhone, etc. What, you think those "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials just happened one day by accident?

Full story here.

Missed the boat by a year or two

Nothing to do with Microsoft, but this genre of video is now nothing new and is overdone (sound effects) to even seem potentially real.
