Microsoft Songsmith = Epic Fail

Gawker is covering the Microsoft infomercial (above) promoting Microsoft's new karaoke software for critically white people with children. Whatever you do...do not watch the video above. You've been warned. The infomercial will make you cringe. It's every bit as bad as Hillary's worst campaign commercial.

The software they're pitching is astoundingly bad. It reminds me of Aldous Huxley's "synthetic music machine" in Brave New World:

"...the hotel too hopelessly old-fashioned-no television laid on in the bedrooms, no scent organ, only the most putrid synthetic music...[snip] A Synthetic Music machine was warbling out a super-cornet solo."

And then my sister calls me whining about how Microsoft is laying people off and I'm like...these people need to be laid off. They should hunted down and treed like coons and forced to confess, repent, and apologize.

Update: Apparently, this is a follow up to Microsoft Hit Wizard.

I could not listen to another word(note). I made it about 27% through. It has always been known that there is no accounting for some folks taste.
