AD CAMPAIGN FAIL
AD CAMPAIGN FAIL
If Microsoft says we can live in a world without walls and fences, then why would we need Windows and Gates?

Haha how clever.
Considering how the part about Windows can count metaphorically…
I like this!
Uh, I think that was the whole idea.
Thank you for pointing that out …
nice picture jameshogg!
i agree. haha! awesome. total win!
very clever
To bad the joke is allready over 3 years old…
Boeie
True.
No true. This campaign rolled out in September 2008.

Unfortunately, I have a post here from 2006, using the same joke, and there are probably older uses. Click the name.
Which naturally begs the question — if you knew about it before, why didn’t you create a LOL and share it with the rest of us?
I have to give them credit for their most recent ad, though. “I’m a PC, and I’m four and a half.” It rebuts the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” more effectively than any other in the series, and the little girl is ridiculously cute. And I’m not one to praise Microsoft, as a general rule.
That is the BEST CAPTION EVER!!!!!!!!
Rofl agreed.
b(//.-)b thumbs-up emo kid approves of this statement
haha very clever indeed
What we really need is Jobs!!
Please tell me that was an impression of G.W. Bush…
Steve Jobs from Apple …
Aaaaahhh, I thought poor Mike’s grammar was cursed…
Ooh, that woz clever.
So woz that!
Wait, I woz clever, too!
That was an impression of G.W. Bush!
That is a comment indeed worthy of the caption. I loled
I, too, like my laptop to burn holes in my pants because a fan would just make it so much less pretty.

Good one. I was wondering about their campaign too.
This is the most thoughtful caption I’ve ever seen. Brilliant!
Very funny. But the answer is because that the alternative is macs. … Yep. Windows plz.
What a small and confined world you live in. Mac is not the only option, nor is at a bad alternative. If it weren’t for the cost, I would suggest a Mac to every home user as it is far more user friendly, it comes with everything you need right out of the box, and it is immune to virus infection.
-
That said, I’m a WindowsXP user at the office because of compatibility. I’m also a WindowsXP user at home because I like to build my own gaming rigs.
-
Ubuntu is an excellent alternative to Windows, and once properly configured it isn’t difficult to use.
-
I would rather revert to Windows 2000 or DOS for that matter before I downgrade to Vista.
Thank you, for saving my breath and exasperation with this idiot.
i just LOL’d at the tired old ” immune to viruses” excuse. They can and do stil get viruses. And as their popularity grows more and more users who have been lulled into a sense of safety will find out the hard way that they do indeed need virus protection.
I know some people will feel this is just semantics but not all malware is a virus. Taken from a
“By definition, a virus is a piece of malware that spreads through computer system without user intervention. The security paradigm of Mac OS X is such that an application cannot achieve the superuser status it needs to wreak havoc without the user’s explicit permission, even if the user is logged on with an admin account.
Now, a Mac is just as susceptible to trojan-horse malware where tricking the user into giving a piece of malware permission to run allows it to spread. A recent hacking competition used a malicious website and user-level tricks to get malicious code to run through the Apple web browser, Safari, but this is not the same as a virus.”
So you can get malware on a Mac. But you cannot be invected by a virus without user interaction.
An application cannot achieve the superuser status it needs to wreak havoc unless it uses one of the Mac’s security holes.
ha ha Mac fail
Linux plz!
Can you elaborate? I’d like to know so I can protect my laptop.
immune |iˈmyoōn|
adjective
resistant
NOT completely fortified against, but resistant.
Know your vocabulary >:D
Hmm. I assumed otherwise, just by the common usage of the word.
I’m running a Vista that’s had all the useless bullcrap removed so the computer can actually y’know, run? It’s pretty good actually. Once in a while IE goes into a tailspin and has to be restarted but other than that it’s useable. It runs in about 1/10th the disk space and 1/5th the RAM as the full version. It’s like that fan-edited version of “The Phantom Menace” where all they did was go through and cut out Jar Jar Binks, and suddenly it wasn’t a piece of crap anymore.
Great analogy, I just need to figure out how to remove all the useless crrrrap!
Epic Win.
So true it’s funny XD
Hold on… am I actually seeing this? Something on here that is actually clever? Wow, well done good sir.
But….does he have any Grey Poupon?
Very clever word play… some thought was actually put into this one for a change!
Win!
Touché. I wonder why they haven’t mentioned that in those Apple ads. PC would probably explode from the paradoxes.
I have to commend the Mac user who put this one together. It must be difficult to break away from their busy day of sitting in Starbucks working on a screenplay and not getting a real job.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’ve never owned anything but a PC … there are five in my house, one for each person living there. No member of my family has ever asked for a Mac.
I just find the wordplay amusing.

heatherjlc
I <3 this one so much!
Thanks, and me too. The wordplay is hilarious!
I only get partial credit for this one, as my co-workers and I were lamenting our recent upgrade to Vista and discussing the ad campaign when this came up. We all LOL’d so I kind of figured everyone here would, as well!
I haven’t been inspired to do many lately; hopefully sometime soon I’ll be in the mood to. I have LOLwriter’s block!
I understand, but I see that you’ve got a great one coming up …
Block broken, apparently.
Six macs + one linux machine.
I’ve never owned any computer unless it wins.
I hate to burst your bubble (even though Literal already did), but most Mac users I know don’t hate Windows. The people I know that bash Windows are the people living with it’s frustrations on a daily basis. However Mac haters like yourself will bash Apple without ever laying hands on a Mac, even though Apples are superior to most major manufacturers home PC’s in almost every way.
-
Another point, you realize that Mac users can run Windows AND MacOS on the same machine right?
-
Mac is better on almost every point but price.
When I purchased my Mac I found that the PCs with equivalent processors, memory, etc. were pretty much the same price. You can find PCs that are cheaper than Macs, but they usually have slower processors and less memory.
I’ve been maintaining Macs since 1990 and I’ve had to replace an internal component exactly once – a bad power supply on a G4 server. I had to buy the part on eBay since it would’ve cost like $500 retail – I think they’ve gotten away from the ultracustom components now though. I think it’s true, to get a Winbox with the same quality as a Mac you’d have to spend really nearly the same, and then you’d still have an OS that’s vulnerable as all Hell to viruses, hijackware, and user ineptitude. Unless of course you just put Ubuntu on it.
Steve, the thing is that I go to school 6 hours a day and work on a restricted Mac, the thing that makes me angry is that when you don’t have someone who sets it up with the RIGHT stuff, and is a good computer programmer, then you get a shitty mac. FFS, my mac doesn’t even have photoshop on it in school. Nor can it be installed, because installation is blocked on school Macs.
Grawr.
Oh, and I find that Mac can be a little harder to dig through in general than Windows. For files, etc, I mean. I’ve used the unrestricted versions of the Macs, too, but I still prefer Windows and Linux. Vista is crap, but it runs decently once you take some of the unnecessary crap out.
Oh, and also Macs make me angry cause I can’t play/design addons for my games really.
Tyler, have you tried using the spotlight to find files? There is an icon of a magnifying glass on the top right hand corner of the mac. It will search anything. It’s faster than MS “find,” and works better, believe me.

Old? This is a brand new ad campaign.
I think he was talking about the Windows suck joke…
But I didn’t say windows sucks … I said their ad campaign sucks.
See what I did there?
I know that and you know that. I am just stating what the samurai on speed was most likely insinuating.
Got it. Seems to be like politics and religion, the inability to laugh at your own operating system’s failures.
I just happen to be an idiot so I can see the blind intuitive leaps of idiocy and then use the splatter pattern they make upon the wall of logic to deduce their original jumping point.
I think the better explanation would be “Excuse me, I speak idiot. Maybe I can help translate?”
Hahah. I LoL’d
+1 internetz to diss
You have a point as far as being concise but I did want to give the mental imagery of idiots splattering on walls as my free gift of love to PK on this Friday the 13th.
This post is Not Rated…
Well, yeah, idiots splattering on walls is always a good image.
I do this because I love. Never forget that… Or else they will only find pieces of what I leave in old crypts with a slight bit of chewing from random fauna…
I mean… *cough* I love PK… Honest. At least some of you. *has talked self into corner, leaps out window*
*peers out window*
Dammit, DWN. You’ve landed on the petunias. Who jumps out a first-floor window anyway?
In other news, have I ever mentioned that I love it when people use the word fauna? It’s a terribly underused word.
Ummm, hmmmm. Well, now I am all dirty and in need of a shower. Do you have a shower and a towel I could use?
I mean, yes, fauna. Awesome word.
You’re always dirty. One of your finer qualities.
*thinks*
Oh, you mean the mud! I think I can just…brush it off you. If you don’t mind.
Brushing eh? Um, sure go ahead.
I’ll just start at the top and work down.
I like where this is going… Giggidity Giggidity. Gigga-dy!
I like to do what I can to be helpful.
*let’s this slip into obscurity*
It entertained me
thanks, DWN
I do what I can.
All OSes suck; your own, doubly so. = )
This saying goes back to at LEAST 2007. You can find it everywhere on teh intarweb.
Oh, this is SOOOOO funny . . . and absolutely on target. Having hated Windows, Microsoft and Bill Gates for forcing me to use Windows, I LOVE this!!
1. Wow Literal you really are sad.
Now this is what Pundit Kitchen is all about.
Perfect.
LO flippin’ L
2. Wow Literal you really are sad.
Gates!! What a nerd!
3. Wow Literal you really are sad.
Remember, Everytime a Microsoft Employee gets lad off, thet have to return to street crimes instead.
Microsoft employees getting lad off? How is that possible? They’re microsoft!
I though the saying was:
“everytime a microsoft employee gets lad off, a mac get it’s wings.”
4. Wow Literal you really are sad.
Whoa, whoa whoa I returned to street crimes long before the layoff threats!
That was awesome.
5. Wow Literal you really are sad.
That joke was clever beyond comparison and executed with extraordinary precision. You, sir, are a natural.
6. Wow Literal you really are sad.
I didnt find this funny at all tbh
/shrug
7. Wow Literal you really are sad.
By far the cleverest Lol on punditkitchen
8. Wow Literal you really are sad.
Winner.
9. Wow Literal you really are sad.
The responses cycling through my head include (but are not limited to), “pwnt”, “LOL!”, “Oh Snap”, “Win!”, and “I wish I could make lols as good as this.”
10. Wow Literal you really are sad.
Your name accompanies your posting method quite nicely.
Wow Seriousfail, you really seriously fail
No I am just pointing out how pathetic she is to have multiple addresses and names in order to vote herself onto the front page and then to use the comments section make sure that she gets a lot of praise.
I think it is sad she feels she has to do that. I post the information here so you can all feel sorry for her. Attention is attention.
Do you need medical intervention? I can contact someone for you.
Admins choose what goes on the front page; voting ultimately has very little to do with it, as you and everyone else here is well aware. The top voted LOLs don’t necessarily make it to the front. And I’m sure those who left comments here would take issue with your assertion that I was creating them out of thin air.
Chill, NObama. I don’t have any issue with you, but I know your signature (or that of your minions) when I see it.
If it isn’t the top voted lol’s that make it to the front page, then your jaw must REALLY be sore. Also, why don’t you give someone else a chance to make it to the front page instead of being a cheap twit and flooding the voting pages with your own crap? You must really need a life, as you apparently spend all your time making pictures for people to make fun of.
Ah, a minion, as I suspected. Why, thanks for asking, Polly. My jaw is, in fact, still a bit sore following my most recent surgery, from which I have been recovering and unable to work as I prefer. My apologies that the conservative claptrap LOLs you and yours have been producing didn’t receive the consideration you so richly deserve while I was recovering and making them myself. I have indeed enjoyed seeing the “Pinky and the Brain” series submitted and resubmitted … how delightfully entertaining!
You can stop crying now. I began working again today, and will continue back to work from now on. Go back to your neo-con creations, and continue to give conservatives everywhere the whackadoodle image.
Not a conservative here, but thanks for trying. I just see one person who is apparently so starved for attention that she must flood the voting with her own stuff so that she can validate her existence, or so bored that she’s got nothing better to do except to edge out the ‘competition’ by producing so many lol’s that finally she feels loved. Funny is funny no matter the political persuasion, and yours aren’t. They are simply the only ones to vote on.
As I said, I was on medical leave, and enjoying making lols.
Sorry you’re green. It’s not easy, or so I’m told.
And flooding the market? Click the link to see how many lol’s your lord and master created over a week’s period of the same image that I noted were immediately voted down.
I can’t help it that a few others appreciated my month-long creative binge. It is, however sadly for you, over.
Sorry it offends you so deeply!
Oh, and do you bother to check the “upcoming” link? If you don’t, you definitely should. There are MANY top rated lols there to choose from! Mine are just a few of the upcomings …
They are quite funny, and I do believe you’d enjoy them.
My ‘lord and master’? Do tell.
A creative binge is only creative if you have something to say. Cranking out ‘Hannah Montana’-esque lol’s that appeal to the lowest common denominator isn’t creative. Of course, when it’s forced upon you by being put out there in such quantities as to be the only thing that people can vote on, then I guess we’re stuck with your ‘meh’ lol’s until you finally find something else to do.
I hope you don’t have a family to take care of. They must be neglected in so many ways.
If you don’t like them, vote fail!
And as I said, check upcoming. There are many there; sorry you didn’t have a chance to see them. You should definitely check the voting page more often.
‘Hannah Montana’-esque — that’s wonderful! Never watched it, but apparently you know it well.
As a matter of fact, I do have a family. They have lives during the day, and while I’ve been down they’ve been extremely supportive and loving, helping me with the chores while I rested, wrote, and had a little fun. I am truly lucky.
For the record, I just sat and “voted” for a while, and not a single one that came up was Literal’s. And with the sheer number of people on here who submit them, it would be virtually impossible for her to “flood” them.
Thanks, Aedriel. You’ve also seen my LOL page, so you know how many I make, how many are immediately voted down, and the level of humor to be found within. IMHO, this one is not ‘Hannah Montana’-esque, but humor is subjective and to each his own.
I appreciate your input.
Considering that the last time I voted, over half of the lol’s were hers, yes, it is possible to flood the voting.
I gave up voting after the second time that happened. It just isn’t worth it.
Also, it’s not a stretch to go from heatherjlc to hcochran1234, especially when you read back over your postings in the not so recent past and put them in context. You can have more than one account here, whaddya know.
Really? And I know who you are, too! Isn’t that amusing!
Good thing I took a screen shot of your admission of this account’s email address being created and the reason it was created. That was definitely foresight on my part, now wasn’t it!?
And I created LOLs under another name because I truly enjoy doing it and was trying not to upset you further. I’ve also mostly refrained from posting out of respect for you, as well.
You should probably stop now, IMHO. If you want to take it further, please feel free, otherwise, live and let live, and your faux hotmail account can remain private.
I have made no admissions of the sort. At least you admit your submitting under more than one name and flooding the voting.
I’m glad you think you know who I am, but I’d bet a lot of money that you don’t, especially since I tend to lurk instead of post. This has really been getting my ire up, because there are some really good lol’s that are getting put on the back burner in favor of your ‘meh’ ones that are the only ones to vote on. You have admitted that you ‘know the best time to submit’, which means your playing the system.
And if your threatening to give my email to the moderators, you might want to rethink that, as yours can be done the same way. I’d think long and hard, since you have about 15 different socks that can be reported.
Hahahahahahaaaaa! I love that you think you know who I am! Too bad you don’t!
Fair enough. Go to it.
And I’m curious. Since you think that you know who I am, I’d be most pleased if you would attempt to name me. Let’s see how close you get!
