Microsoft Zune Ads (2006)

Posted by gundampilotspaz on January 2, 2007

These ads don’t make me wanna buy a Zune… in fact… they kinda make me wanna kill myself…..

What were they THINKING! I can’t tell this is for a MEDIA player! The only think it accomplishes is to make me NOT want a Zune even more.

Explain that one too me!?

IF they were just going to make a music video… why not have it sync to the music?! I assume the bird is supposed to be how you “squirt” a song from one zune to the other… WHY NOT MAKE THAT CLEAR!

O.O

There is only one more, the pain will stop soon.

Someone please explain these ads to me! What was Microsoft thinking!?
