Sorry?
When I heard you discuss the “Microsoft rap” on your show, I just had to check it out. Having just done it, I must say I’m a little disappointed.
I’m Norwegian and the lyrics aren’t offending or trying “to be cool”. In fact, they’re not pretentious at all, and not taking itself seriously. It’s a joke, albeit a poor joke, but it’s not meant seriously.
Just thought you should know you sound like a couple of old ladies discussing this having watched what the fuzz was about. Grow a pair.
Sigg3: So you think silly dick jokes from a company that is desperately trying to be cool is entertaining, then? You should stop listen to the show. You obviously don’t have an ounce of taste.
Not what I’m saying, not at all. I was disappointed because you talked about it like Microsoft had caused a great scandal, when they just tried to joke around. This is one of the MS employes exemplifying self-irony. It’s probably lost in translation, but anyway.
Believe me, MS does a lot worse than this out on the town:)
Also, you obviously don’t read very well.
