To promote Diesel’s XXX parties, they made a SFW (safe for work) compilation of old porn flicks. The result is really funny! Nice campagn!

What the hell happened to the new advertising campaign by Microsoft starring Bill gates and Jerry Seinfield. So Microsoft decided to stop the campaign?

Instead they released the ‘I am a PC’ ads and I must say… I already miss Jerry! Does it make any sense?

Note that the person in the beginning, Sean, gives you his email address: sean@windows.com. If you send an email to that, you’ll get an auto response like this…

Hello! I’m a PC – and I can’t answer your email right now. I’d like to say that I’m out climbing Mt. Rainier or biking across Europe with the Swedish Beach Volleyball Team, but in fact I’m probably just chained to a desk somewhere in the depths of Redmond pounding out product specifications.

Now that I have been in a commercial, Microsoft has given me access to super-secret “BillyG” level of executive resources. That’s right – I have my own email auto-responder!

This, as you have probably surmised, is my pre-prepared auto-response (All natural, no filler. No animals were harmed in the making of this response. Except for a ferret.) I really would like to have answered you myself, but if I did, (a) I’d probably get no work done, and (b) then I’d get fired, and (c) then I’d have no chance of doing any more of those really awesome commercials.

So let me try to prognosticate a few of your questions and answer a few of them.

Why did they put you on TV?
I think it’s my devastating good-looks and animal magnetism. No, really – there’s a ferret stuck to my leg right now.

But really – you aren’t even an actor!
No I’m not. But I play one on TV. I really am a Microsoft Program Manager. I work on IPv6, and other things that you haven’t heard of.

How did you get selected?
I auditioned along with a couple of hundred others. I guess I looked very Engineery. And the ferret probably helped.

Are you interested in more acting?
Oh no, I think that Engineering is MUCH more fun.

What’s with Windows Vista?
You’ve been watching those commercials again, haven’t you? Windows Vista rocks. Listen to real users, not actors.

It didn’t put a smile on my face.
Anyway, there a two other spots here and here…

The Internet Movie Database, better known as IMBD, is finally upgrading to a more modern way of dealing with films and internet, by announcing the free streaming availability of 6,000 films and TV shows.

IMDb is now showing full-length movies and and a great selection of full-length TV episodes directly on our site — for free!

I guess that’s exactly what we would expect from IMDB! Great job!

The only problem is that the content is being provided by CBS, Hulu, Sony Pictures Teleivision, and some 500 indie production houses. This means Europe will not always be allowed to watch the content. A problem that can be solved by installing Hotspot Shield

A couple days ago I posted some pics from a shooting for MTV!
Well, this is the result:

Comedian Jerry Seinfield and Bill Gates are starring in a brand new soap for Microsoft. A new way of branding Microsoft, I say. So Bill gates appears to be human after all…

This weeks episode: Jerry Seinfeld convinces Bill Gates to try and connect with everyday people the old fashioned way.

Enjoy!

The Cowboys were asked to make a 20-sec. tv-spot…. and so we did!

Content Cowboys were asked to make a tv-ad for KLETS!, a youth project by De Vlaamse Jeugdraad.

Oke, I might be one of the few early adopters who doesn’t have an iPhone (yet), but this looks really cool!

Sweet!
