Microsoft Windows 386 Promo Video (WTF?) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I don't know what Microsoft's marketing department was smoking when they made this 12 minute video. Be warned: it's very painful to watch. If you have ADD, skip to the 7 minute mark to see a bad video get WAAAY worse.

I saw this video a while ago when it was doing the rounds on digg and fark etc. It's a masterpiece, simple as that!

Seemed promising there for a minute, with the changing of clothes, Mr Pain, etc.

Golly, I sure am glad I brought my braincells with me this morning.

w-w-w-what the fuck?

SecretMethod70 · 02-08-2007, 10:26 AM

I prefer to put a more modern spin on it...

w-w-w-welcome to the w-w-w-wow

I can't be positive if it's the same person, but IMDB has a Victoria Carver (the woman in the video) and she was in an X-rated film called "The Godson"

Man, I hope oversized eyeglasses and shoulderpads never come back in style.

It was the 80's, and I'm sure cocaine was involved. That's all I have to say.
