Microsoft releases yet another strange "Zune" advertisement, titled "Birds". It's quite disturbing to say the least. What are your thoughts? Video after the jump.
F*cking spastic.
The only (narrow) group this could possibly appeal to is mentally deficient, pubescent delinquents, moronic ones at that.

First this has been around for a couple of months. Second I wouldn't call it disturbing.
While Ashtar wouldn't be on top of my list of favorite bands visually the ad does go very well with the song. Visually it's a great ad.
Set aside your MS hate for 20 seconds then watch it again. If you still hate it the problem is you.

meh. you guys are close minded. not willing to give it a chance because it challenges your ipod idol and your slick plastic worlds.
its a bizarre ad for sure, but i think it rocks. jolting and amusing. certainly sparks curiosity.
get a life you shallow-minded appleworms.

I'm a HS teacher...unfortunately I would be that ad gets a lot of playtime online just because they lit a bird on fire. MS must be thinking back to Beavis and Butthead...fire is cool.

Congratulations in perfectly describing your average Zune owner.

The people bashing the ad are hilarious. You know if you were shown the ad and told it was from Apple you would be declaring it a work of art. Get a life and get over it - it's an ad.
For those who are brainlocked over what it's saying - the dull grey bird is sent a song by the other bird and at the end they both listen to it. It's difficult for some I know...
