The one thing PC and Mac users can both agree on is that the advertising campaign for Windows 7 is beyond irritating.
Whether it’s the TV adverts or the posters in an Underground station, that whole “I’m a nobody and yet Windows 7 was somehow my idea” thing is just annoying. A good idea – and I see where they were going with it – but it was executed wrong.
And now, in another “let’s get down with the kids” attempt, the Sugababes are now the new faces of Windows 7 Revealed.
Over at www.sugababeslovewindows7.com , the Sugababes have recorded several videos, showing you how easy to use Windows 7 is.
Yes, it’s so easy, even a girl band can use it!
The videos are meant to give us “insight” on “just how simple Windows 7 is to use and how it helps simplify [the Sugababes’] hectic lives. “
Now, I wasn’t expecting these videos to go well. For numerous reasons...
Three of which being:
1) As if the Sugababes casually sit around with a Sony Vaio in front of them
2) As if the Sugababes use Bing.
3) As if the Sugababes give a flying poo what Windows 7 can or can’t do.
But despite the videos being unnatural (“Gosh guys, I can’t decdide which sexy photo of us to use as my desktop wallpaper...what’s that you say? I can use two? In a slideshow? Gosh Windows 7 is swell!”) forced and unbelievable – they serve their purpose.
They show the Sugababes using Windows 7, and I’ll admit that I learned a thing or two about what Windows 7 does.
Personally, I think instead of doing multiple crappy photos, the Sugababes should have been able to do one longer video like Amy Sedaris did for Microsoft Office – but, what do I know.
I’m just a blogger, and Windows 7 wasn’t my idea.
However, I do get the feeling that The Saturdays are feeling a little down in the dumps today, because the only thing they've ever been asked to demonstrate is how easy it is to use a box of tampons.
