I have one under my bed....

That's pretty ridiculous. Even I'm not enough of a fanboy to get a grip on that nonsense.

No, wait. That's a pyramid.

It's all about the fruit of your labor.
Starbucks makes me want to kill a whale. McDonald's makes me want to take heavy drugs and move to St. Louis. And Microsoft has probably boosted more sales of Viagra than Vista.

Afterwards, they were given an 'unusual use test,' in which they were given the opportunity to come up with creative uses for a brick.

They invented the Zune.

When exposed to the Microsoft brand, participants began acting like Monkey-Boy-Balmer.

When exposed to the Apple brand, participants began masturbating vigorously!

Mar 19, 08 - 11:47 am Comment from: MizuInOz

The brick was obviously a Zune... and exposure to the Microsoft logo created the urge to hurl, er throw the brick at Elliot Spitzer for punishment fo rusing his American Excuse Card to pay for his side.

Obviously, Spitzer is a MS user!

Having an Apple logo near you - tattooed to your (fill in the blank) makes you the (fill in the blank) in your (fill in the blank)...


Now that should be an adventure!

Hey MAC lemmings, all those "When exposed to the Microsoft brand…" comments aren't funny at all.

When exposed to the Apple brand, participants became smug and pretentious proclaiming "look at me, I'm doing something super creative when I could be updating the McMillan proposal in Excel for Mr. Dithers on a stinky little Windows machine."

Whatever.

Us Dell + Vista power users in the REAL WORLD will be getting stuff done.

Your potential. Our passion.™

When exposed to the Microsoft brand, Zune Tang® was motivated to seek therapy for cognitive dissonance

When exposed to the Microsoft brand, participants showed a propensity to act like cattle. As one would after being "branded" as a possession which, to Microsoft, is what the customer is.

When staring at the Apple logo, I get the sensation to write a boring, ridiculous article just like this one on such a boring, slow news day. When trimming arm pit hairs, the stimulation and acceleration of ear and nose hair growth increases dramatically. Is that less boring?

Mar 19, 08 - 12:50 pm Comment from: Anim8me2

When exposed to the Microsoft brand, particpants were strongly motivated to claim that the brick was interesting but they would be releasing a brick with newer and more innovative features that has been in development for "some time". After 1 year the brick will be released but it will only be slightly larger and not compatible with any existing mortar or cement.
