I’m trying to investigate advertising on Bing.com search for a couple clients,  so I fill out the little more information form online and patiently wait for someone to contact me. This is the little “thanks for contacting us” email I recieved a couple of hours later.

It is from Microsoft to my Outlook on a PC. There is absolutely no excuse for it to look like this!

Need a hint? Check this out.

While photoshopping like this is common in an agency and I don’t fault microsoft for photosopping out diversity in a country that is 99% white, leaving is hand the same is just lazy. Additionally, the photoshopping/stock photography pro also used an image with a Mac Book in it and managed to photoshop out the cord to the monitor but left the cord to the keyboard in place.

Via Engadget, the Polish site was “fixed” but putting the black guy’s head back on his body, but it still has some major flaws…

All you microsoft fans know who I’m talking about. According to the promo video for Office 2010, he has been killed off by some sort of Microsoft nemisis. Cool promotional video and yet still soooo Microsoft.

I actually really like the first Microsoft spot by CP+B which is surprising because I don’t really like Jerry Seinfeld, but I do love churros.
