I can imagine kids having fun with it (if they don't hurl on their keyboards) but I'd be a little worried about the lingering effects of the creepy gingerbread man on impressionable minds. That character gives me the 'willies'.

It really makes you wonder how a company of that size, with virtually unlimited resources can produce video of such low caliber. Do they not do any focus testing? Yep Rachel, that’s another gem.

Much like your observations on the other videos, they completely missed the mark. What audience were they going for? Black Eyed Peas listening, electric slide dancing, PC buyers? I don't care if my Microsoft customer service person can spontaneously dance the electric slide. They're going to have to do a lot better than than to convince me to go PC. It's not quite as terrible as the other Microsoft example (which by the way is WAY too long for a viral video at over six minutes), but it's pretty bad.
