    Question Microsoft Seinfeld Commercials

    Well, the first one came out, and I've watched it, and I've really, really tried to make sense of it. But I just can't figure it out.

    They're paying huge money for this. Anybody care to tell me why?

    Seinfeld is the most truly-nothing disorganization of random idiocy I've ever seen. Watching Peter Griffin moaning on the floor holding his bruised leg can knock me off the chair, if we're talking about something trying to achieve being truly nothing.

    I didn't even click that linky. "Seinfeld" word already stands for itself.

    Yuck.

    What freaks me out is that this campaign is supposed to make up for Windows Vista's perception problems. This strange, painful stuff is going to wipe out your bad memory of User Access Control.

    Just a little background so's you can understand what this exercise is supposed to mean:

    Microsoft picks Jerry Seinfeld to promote Windows

    SEATTLE, Aug 21, 2008 — Comedian Jerry Seinfeld will appear in Microsoft Corp.'s next Windows advertising campaign.

    A person familiar with the plans confirmed a Wall Street Journal report Thursday that named Seinfeld as the company's new pitchman. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition on anonymity because the plans have not been formally announced.

    Seinfeld is being brought on board to help brighten Microsoft's image as the company tries to move past its bumpy launch of Windows Vista.

    I think the message of the commercial is "if the shoe fits, wear it".

    Wow, that made it make perfect sense. Vista was "tight" and wearing it for a while will fix it (ie updates).

    I like Seinfeld's NBC grotesque pretty much but this commercial is, like the majority of its kind, garbage.
