....that's bad.
Completed my monday, thanks!
Where's the steaming pile icon? We need one! Ballmer instead, since his advertising is about on the same level.
Aaaaargh #

that HP needs to:
a) stop employing acne-ridden teenagers with a knowledge of Photoshop and iMovie roughly eqivalent to the size of a garden pea to create it's advertising schemes.
b) try more conventional methods of advertising: just imagine the HP Customer Satisfaction survey for those HP data centre products...
"Where did you hear about the product?"
"...the Werewolf told me to buy it - it really wasn't my choice!"

Seriously, are they like on Crack or something? Or do their ad execs not realize that most serious IT shops probably block facebook at their perimeters?
I mean I don't mean to rain on their collective parades, but that IS, next to the yahoo stalker app for cell phones/pda's, one of the most stupid ideas yet.
I chose Paris because she probably knows better, at least in terms of attempting to sell high end kit

They really are coming to get you!
No doubt with a cleverly disguised managed sevices contract, errr no sorry , bloated EDS contract that cleverly commits you use all of the HP kit like 'Superdumb', 'cClass' (c in this respect standing for bottom of the) and Virtually useless connect.

You were right #

I was prepared to be open minded. I thought it would be played by actors hanging around in the dark corners of data centres etc. But no, it was a naff animation and it was indeed awful.
Yeah... scary #

It is frightening.. Frighteningly BAD.
Mine's the one with skidmarks in the undies...
Argh! #

Its just too horrible!
While I'm all for having a bit of fun, I'm not sure who/what they're aiming for! The graphics aren't serious and the voice-overs aren't fun. It neither informative nor aesthetically pleasing.
It should have been in the "FAIL and YOU" section instead.
