Unsought Input

This video has been unleashed on the general public recently. It was a internal promotional video for Microsoft’s sales staff to pump them up for selling Windows Vista. It features “Bruce ServicePack and the Vista Street Band” singing about how rockin’ the new service pack update 1 is. They don’t mention all of the bugs that Vista had when it shipped and how vastly inferior it is to Windows XP in every regard, but hey they have a bad parody rock band. I enjoy the fact that they are spoofing a video from almost 20 years ago. Maybe the reason Windows Vista isn’t selling is because Microsoft is completely out of touch secluded in its fortress of doom in the Pacific North West. Seriously what ever PR firm made this turd should be banned from making any type of promotional material in any media ever.

The rise of YouTube, Google Video and other video sharing web sites has lead to more than just copyright infringement.ÂIt has lead to some pretty clever satire, in the form of movie trailer spoofs.

Of course, in a world where a two-second sample from a three-note guitar solo is copyright infringement, the creators of these videos have probably already been sued. But enough pontification, here are five movie trailer spoofs well worth watching.
Just a spoon full of sugar…
