Apparently the target demographic Microsoft is going after -- according to this "winner" video -- is:
-Those with an IQ around 60 (due to the simplistic idiocy of the lyrics and facial expressions used in the video).
- Those who are malleable, easily led, and easily relieved of their few pennies (which can then be added to Ballmer's fat wallet...as evidenced by the happy, compliant little images in the background who gleefully do what they are told by their moronic taskmaster).
- Those with little or no personality (according to the largely expressionless and mindless facial gestures of the "actor" in this video).
With such a low opinion of its potential "customers", it's a wonder that Microsoft has any customers left.
Why I looked is the same reason you look at car and train crashes, to see if it is as bad as you can imagine. This indeed, is worse. The guy who did it seems serious as he has produced drivel for over 200 consecutive day and posted the video to accompany it on Youtube. I love that particular irony.
Oh, yeah and M$ can hire Barry Manilow to do the real version of it. It would be really funny, unlike the Jerry Seinfeld ads, in a really awful kind of way.
I don't know if many remember a TV show called the 'Gong Show' where really bad contestants on the show got a large Gong rang if they were less than desirable , meaning they sucked , well GONG ,GONG , the Bing use the giant Shepard staff and pull this off the Internet .
After this travesty, I really do hope that SUN stops distributing the "Yahoo toolbar" with its java updates. To inflict further exposure to Micro-who on the world's populace would be cruel and inhuman. Why would Sun/Oracle do this to us?
Someone should quickly market a Firefox add-on that blocks Micro-who (toolbar and everything else), and especially, this horrid "jingle".
to illustrate what an idiotic idea Bing is. And as if to prove how out of touch MS is, they picked the parody as their theme. Intentionally horrible jingle, but a beautifully executed joke.
First word of '95 song:"Problem". then Microsmartz logo. You could start up computer, it just would complete ANY task, wheter internet or anything. Throw it out turns out to be case, those computers in scenes are long gone, $350 CRT monitors, ALL trash, maybe few keyboards, if where PC2(although older PC KB have adapter) or mouse survives.Forget Software people paid thousands for too.
Why waste money today,(OMG) public already knows it unlikely to function Properly. Maybe Micro? dosn't have any more money, really saves on Ad costs. There arn't any.
BTW Tent pegs are usually aluminum. How about piece of broken glass? Really, new songster is good example of what can be done(yet, who'd admire NObody?, you slumps), while '95 was day dream. thats Two Fiffie per song. NOT Bad.
Rumour mill states ?NT7, about 2013 & major change called 8. Eight We Lucky today.(By Then?) Chairman Bill musta got out of prison, as climbing way back into press, so maybe not so lucky.
...they could have at least make the video only work on Silverlight on Windows Vista to spare us poor sods from having to endure that big piece of crap.
What was that bloody dance, the Macarena done wrong?
Least they could have done is bought the rights to a 'Bing' Crosby song. Geddit?
Right, I'm going to disinfect my eyes and ears with bleach.
...but I was quite happily ticking along today without a care in the world and you're the {insert appropriate derogative here} who ruined it, along with the fact you're extracting the result of kidney function from someone else. For those reasons, take your pick from these:
Get on to youtube, give the video 1 star and then flame the crap out of the gobshite.
You are just trying to lure us into sharing the pain and agony you suffered when listening to this ... but I am not going to! :P

Theres a great way to get bing working well, it requires one quick modification to a system file...
google.com bing.com
Just throw that line in your hosts file, restart, and bing starts working just like magic!

That's it. I'm never gonna use Bing again.

What could be wrong in the high councils of patenter of XML documents and other innovative wonderments?
