it’s strange that there’s an entire, ‘nother city right next to New York called “Brooklyn.” With a downtown, streets, firemen, everything

I just love the Super-Bowl commercials. Those expensive, uber-produced, work-for-months type of commercials.
Here are my best picks.
1. Motorola Xoom – Empower The People
Motorola achieved greatness with this ad, that stabs at Apple using Apple’s own 1984 commercial concept – just in reverse: Guess who is the totalitarian regime now?
Smart, superbly done, subtle, emotional and captivating.
“Killing two birds with one stone” should be replaced with something more relevant to modern times like “Killing two pigs with one bird”
That’s it, it has been said at last.
Here is a statement by Microsoft’s partner group manager, Simon Aldous:
“One of the things that people say an awful lot about the Apple Mac is that the OS is fantastic, that it’s very graphical and easy to use. What we’ve tried to do with Windows 7 – whether it’s traditional format or in a touch format – is create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics”
Isn’t it awesome and refreshing?
The following statement is out in the wild now, and there is no going back – in spite of Microsoft’s cruel response (To Mr. Aldous, that is).
Dear Mircosoft: Its OK to take the best and most useful ideals from your competitors, and build upon them. Its OK to praise a competitor on some aspects of their product, while still claiming that your product is better in other ways. But no, Mircosoft, it is NOT OK to lie, and it is NOT OK to throw one of your loyal managers at the dogs.
Also – I am sorry to be the one that tell you this, but we, the simple users, are not dumb. At the end of the day, every one of us decides if they want to use your products on their merits and our convenience. So please continue to improve Windows, make it nicer and easier to use. You can even try to innovate, as you are doing with the Surface. Just don’t lie to me.
A very funny commercial from Verizon. I won’t tell you which phone they are smacking, you will have to guess. Very well done.
As mentioned in Buzz Out Loud… A wacky and hilarious site!
