But, ummm isn't Mom waiting for you in the Hot Tub? I think she said she was gonna put on your favorite unitard and light some candles. She gave me 50 bucks and a firm "GET OUT!" I think you are in for a rough one Bro, I mean Father.

Classic.... Is her unitard cougar print? That would probably be more appropriate.

You've officially made me feel dirty for being online on a Friday night. Now I have to go out and have some drinks to forget this ever happened. Sad thing is, I know it will be here when I get home (your mom & the internet)... :puke2:

Hey, no thanks necessary man! I wouldn't be doing my job, if I didn't make you feel dirty. It's the price we pay for sitting at the computer on a Friday night... L-O-S-E-R-S! (Besy Jim Carrey voice)

Now go get wasted, and forget about my mom. She will be passed out upstairs on vicodin and Old English 800, and I will be fumbling around with your porn collection. Wait! I shouldn't be telling you that!

 Speaking of Microsoft, this one made me smile, cos I vaguely remember when it was about in the news.

Saw the first ad last night. All I have to say is - it's good to see somebody taking Microsoft's money (and a whole lot of it) for nothing in return, for a change.  :laugh:

Yikes! You gotta be kidding me. They're so ripe for parody with every move they make that it's almost no fun... almost

Someone tell me this is a way early April Fool's joke.

No Surprise there.  Microsoft has been stealing copying Apple for most of it's existence, why should this be any different.

See, the problem is - it's not aimed at tech savvy people. It's targeting the Sheep, the ones who will have NO idea who Bill Gates is, and don't care, but will surely recognize Seinfeld. That, and it's going to be a "story-line" campaign, this isn't just a one-off commercial. It will be interesting to see how it progresses though, they know they have to salvage the crapfest that was Vista. And if Microsoft is capable of anything, it's throwing obscene amounts of money at a project.
