@applefreak you are officially an idiot. Microsoft did air stuff made by independent artists, it's called zune arts. And before you say(imagine this in a really whiny voice) "But Mark, aren't zune arts only online, not actually on TV?" These new commercials as well as the old ones showed the zune arts videos playing on the players. Seriously applefreak? Try looking stuff up before you spout it.
Just for the record, calling Feist a 'Bjork imposter' is one of the most fundamentally stupid things I've ever heard. If you don't know anything about the music (other than your gut reaction of 'like' or 'don't like,' which is fine, I don't care what you prefer to listen to) then don't make absurd generalizations that couldn't be further from the truth.

The new Zunes look nice but have you seen the commericials? They stink!
I honestly like the ads.
Better than "Music is my girlfriend!!!" that's for sure.
Anything is better than those "1-2-thee-4" iPod nano commercials with that Bjork imposter...
@ Jeff
a collage student made that iPod touch commercial
as if MS would air something made not by them

Oh, and Microsoft used that stupid "music is my girlfriend" (CSS' "Music Is My Hot, Hot Sex") last year, doing it to a Zune-Arts video.
