Steve Ballmer Goes Nuts (Again) To Sell Windows

gizmodo.com — Microsoft's latest "I'm a PC" advertising campaign kicked off pretty well, but someone, somewhere, thought it was missing something. And by "something" we mean the lunacy of Steve Ballmer shouting at the top of his lungs.

  • namae, on 09/20/2008, -0/+37Ugh, why would you THINK that!? That's horrible!
  • relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -2/+37Steve Ballmer rejects your reality and substitutes his own.
  • waxenpi, on 09/20/2008, -6/+34this is supposed to help microsoft?
  • fuzzynyanko, on 09/20/2008, -1/+28He's a PC that was overclocked right on the edge
  • ligyron, on 09/20/2008, -4/+30There's a mental hospital right near here.
  • 01001001, on 09/20/2008, -0/+21You forgot DEVELOPERS...
  • S5S5S5, on 09/20/2008, -6/+26Well, there's your problem
  • simonwalton, on 09/20/2008, -9/+29The guy instantly puts me off Microsoft. In my opinion, they should forbid him ever appearing in any press. Nobody wants to be sold a product by a fat, sweaty businessman with a bad temper.
  • stopbrorape, on 09/20/2008, -1/+20Ballmer injects himself with adrenaline and cow hormones.
  • johanrocks, on 09/21/2008, -5/+23Too soon, man, too soon.

  • ZeeZee2k, on 09/20/2008, -2/+18Hell Yeah!!! Can you top that, Jobs?!?!
  • inactive, on 09/20/2008, -1/+16Anyone here think Steve Ballmer might be using digg and getting really pissed reading all the anti-windows comments.?
  • RSS14, on 09/20/2008, -0/+14"It just didn't make any sense without the last two developers! That was the hook!"

  • cheapotheclown, on 09/20/2008, -0/+13UND I SELL FEESH
  • wonderchemist, on 09/21/2008, -1/+13Someone forgot to take their meds last night.
  • gluecode, on 09/20/2008, -2/+14At least this one thing, Ballmer can do, Jobs can't.
  • ConceptJunkie, on 09/20/2008, -1/+13He probably doesn't use computers.
  • Alegoo92, on 09/21/2008, -6/+18I actually like Steve Ballmer.. he's funny.
  • Raian, on 09/20/2008, -0/+12...Office? That was his private bathroom.
  • ConceptJunkie, on 09/20/2008, -2/+14Yeah, but there's a difference between being yelled at by some skinny guy wearing a black turtleneck and some triple-Y chromosome endomorph who would rip off your head and spit down your neck before the red fog cleared from his vision.

    I would imagine Steve Jobs at least insults you creatively. Ballmer probably just yells like a Tourette's syndrome sufferer at the procotologist's, and I bet he gets little specks of spit all over your shirt.
  • inactive, on 09/20/2008, -3/+14Life without walls? Looks like he's in the typical corporate maze
  • inactive, on 09/20/2008, -2/+13Don't try to convince the diggtards. They want so badly to characterize the Apple ads as condescending and demeaning, otherwise they can't all be victims to justify their righteous indignation.
  • dynatos, on 09/20/2008, -0/+10i have to be honest i was pretty scared after watching that.
  • Narishma, on 09/21/2008, -0/+10s/shame/fear
  • JayCruz, on 09/20/2008, -0/+10I think it's safe to say that Ballmer is insane.
  • Berkana, on 09/21/2008, -1/+11As they should. That man is a frickin' embarassment:

    The "Monkey Dance" incident:

    The "developers, developers, developers, developers" rant, complete with sweat patches:

    And let's not forget his leadership through the Vista fiasco.
  • 0260, on 09/20/2008, -5/+14I love this guy! he is full of win all the time
