- clayasaurus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this link was on digg, but some punk took it off http://www.youtube.com/watch_fullscreen?video_id=VAGr3mVVUwE&l=175&fs=1&title=microsoft%20ipod%20packaging%20parody
- SCARECR0W, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Thanks... ketsugi. I linked to the ipodhacks site, because that is where I originally found the vid at.
Also, I've mirrored the file here: http://toddlambert.com/digg/ms-ipod-parody.wmv
Just in case. - Skitals, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2http://www.arctic.org.nyud.net:8090/~patrick/misc/ms-ipod-parody.wmv
- ketsugi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Direct link to video: http://www.arctic.org/~patrick/misc/ms-ipod-parody.wmv

- mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is the greatest thing I have ever seen. Perfection. I'd give it a digg and a half if I could.
- habenneas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1legendoflink: it's not Sabre Danse, it's Pee Wee's Big Adventure by Danny Elfman. THIS is Sabre Danse: http://www.musicabona.com/samples/su3107-2_1_01.mp3 Not to be confused with Danse Macbre.
Hab - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1now THAT's a good parody! not that lametastic fake ipod video everyone was fawning over.
- bertdevriese, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1funny cause it's true
- puggy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The system requirements label..lol.

- ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The design was a bit overkill... and I personally like more informative designs, rather than just "emotional" designs that don't actually tell you anything, like the apple ones.
- Darph.Bobo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"The design was a bit overkill......"

You do understand it was a PARODY? The purpose of the exaggeration is to drive home the point. You see this often in those things called...umm, JOKES!
You really didn't think they were being serious did you? - mkjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I quite like the redesign :-)
Must was excelent. - denyba, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When I saw the "please insert system reqs" part I laughed so loud I think I woke up some of my coworkers.
- MiamiGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0lol perfect take on how Microsoft would redesign the packaging. I loved it.
- e3mw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is absolutely hilarious. Also, I wish I could give this 10 more diggs for the family guy references alone. "What was the point of all that!"
- waxdart, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For the love of God, folks.
The music is a piece called "The Breakfast Machine". It's from Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Was written by Danny Elfman. It is _not_ "Sabre Dance", though it was clearly meant to emulate.
Also, great vid. So, so true. - mav-nntc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very funny spoof. I like both designs actually. had to watch youtube to get it. damn digg effect.
- weiran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great vid, great music, digg :).
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This was awesome. Great addition to my Monday at my ad design job. ++digg
- canen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Absolutely brilliant!
- jeffclark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Right on!
- Unitarder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Reminds me of motherboard or video card packaging, 1500 words and symbols on the packaging, and nothing that actually tell you anything useful and/or real world.
- jeffburg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very true and very funny
- CatFood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This made my day! Thanks!
+digg - Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It is defintely fanboy art, but very funny at the same time (most fanboy stuff is just stupid). All in all a good watch.
- ZapWizard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Having worked in the world of Corporate marketing, and being shoked at how "Brand" rules all, I find this brilliant.
If MS made the iPod I wouldn't expect any less then what they showed in the video. - slapout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LOL! That was great. Very professionally done. And funny.
- cathode, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That typifies the normal branding and package design process... and ohh how it sickens me. This is EXACTLY what I deal with every day You could easily replace "Microsoft" with the name of any normal company.
Mucho DIGG! - montek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Digg effect.
- Washandje, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You gotta love the music
- T3rry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that arctic site is a joke, its going at like 4k a second fro me... an hour to DL this? i don't think so. put those other mirrors back up.
- LegendOfLink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The music is called "Sabre Dance" by Aram Khachaturian
- Kelvington, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What a great bit! Well Done!
- Thud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Danny Elfman's tune was clearly influenced by Sabre Danse but don't get 'em confused!
- LDaVinci, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Brilliant!!
- dominowrecker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha have to say that is really good...and I like Microsoft for the most part.
+digg - antoniojvr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That was hilarious!
dugg+ - jk_baller23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, youtube does suck, but at least it works :-P
funny vid. - alfoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Khachaturian? That's the chicken guy, yeh?
- chachi_arcola, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0goony goo hoo
++digg too! - manoftheisland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0best thing i've seen on here i a good week. lol
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -0/+0haha brilliant. i hope billy sees this.
- phlll, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How true... and I like MS.
- jmonw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That was amazingly well-done. I wonder if the guy that made that will be getting a call from MS soon. And by that, I meant they want to hire him.
Good stuff. Thanks. - Quickbreak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"yeah, youtube does suck, but at least it works." So does Google Video. =P
- CritCol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Are you sure that's from Pee -Wee's Big Adventure? It sounded to me to be from the Hudsucker Proxy specifically the scene where they introduce the hoola-hoop.
- tsupersonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice.
- eth3l, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0funny as hell - well done - great choice of music.
totally accurate.
and I am NOT an iPod fan - still have my Rio500 clocking out the tunes and the PSP for video - huzzah! -
