Really?

Hey hey eStrippers! Tony here for some phone hate...again.

This is a fun comercial. The microsoft people had to pick some angle to market their phones on, so they decided to choose the "hey, stop using your phone so much" angle. Really?

So this phone makes me not want to use it so much, how did they go about doing that?

Oh this wooden background is my favorite on estrip ever Paul, very nice.... here's the video.

Oooh, note the sexy lady that the guy is ignoring is so hot I keep watching this video, but um, well let's go to tape.

Paul was complaining about his phone making the same noises as everyone elses phones the other day, and that that was one of the reasons he was glad to make the switch to Android. I wonder if it's enough to make him want to try a Windows 7 phone. Prolly not.

Microsoft is pretty famous for its shitty ads. Remember the billion dollar campaign with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates? It was like an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm without the laughs or the tuba.

But, I don't think they are saying the phone is efficient. Most of the people in the ad are actively doing something with their phone, which has nothing to do with efficiency. Efficiency would be them pulling their phone out of their pocket, click-click, close phone, smile of satisfaction.

Or maybe they are saying that their phone is so addicting you wont notice your wife trying to fuck you.

It is all so ambiguous and confusing. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME WINDOWS! WHAT DO YOU WAAAAAAaaaaaaaaNT!

The ad also implies that not only is it quicker but it is set up so you can see all the stuff would normally see at once..... I think it is a great ad plus it is funny also.. Maybe I just watch way to much TV when I like and dislike ads....

Let's say it takes you 10 seconds to check your Estrip on an Android phone. It might only take 3 seconds on a Windows phone.

I especially like the father getting hit in the head with the baseball. However, I still hate Microsoft and everything they stand for. I think most of that stems from the fact that Steve Ballmer is arrogant.

I was reading an article the other day with either a comment from Ballmer or another MS goof. It was in regards to the iPad killing Netboook sales. The statement said something like "I don't understand by people want an iPad when they could have Windows on a netbook" It's almost like they are offering up eternal life but nobody wants to drink it. The only difference is in this case it does not give you eternal life and it tastes like garbage.
