Microsoft Songsmith

I was sent this ad for Microsoft Songsmith - a piece of software that generates musical accompaniment to match a singer's voice - earlier this week and I 've only just given it my full attention.

Ho. Ly. Shit, it's bad.

Clearly, this ad is aimed at 4 year olds (I hope) which would explain why it makes you want to gouge your eyes out with a spoon and weld your ears shut, but aren't Microsoft currently spending millions trying to convince us all that PC users aren't insufferable losers? The dad in this ad seems to have some kind of disorder that makes him move like a Velociraptor, he claims that he has never heard his daughter sing and he uses software aimed at kids to present a make-or-break business pitch to senior management at his ad agency.

Twunt.

Also, isn't that a Mac that Lisa is using at the beginning?
