How hilarious is this? Turns out that that "iPod if it were packaged by Microsoft" parody video that made the rounds a little while ago... was actually made by Microsoft.
Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla on Tuesday confirmed with iPod Observer that his company initiated the creation of the iPod packaging parody video that was first reported last month. "It was an internal-only video clip commissioned by our packaging [team] to humorously highlight the challenges we have faced RE: packaging and to educate marketers here about the pitfalls of packaging/branding," he said via e-mail.
Suddenly I have the bizarrest surge of respect for Microsoft's marketing department.
