I'm not going to lie, I hate this ad. And people thought APPLE ads where appealing to hipsters... Yes, this may be seen as a "hipster's" phone, but I think this is just a bit too much.

I facepalm at Microsoft for this...]]>Apr 17th 2010 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/microsoft-changes-naughty-sexting-kin-ad-camera-to-be-used-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/microsoft-changes-naughty-sexting-kin-ad-camera-to-be-used-fo/

That was basically a failed attempt at trying to be "cooler" than an Apple ad. Microsoft just keeps copying Apples advertisements, first with their "I'm a PC" ads, and now their new marketing style is all "hip" and whatnot.

Too bad they suck at it.]]>Apr 17th 2010 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/microsoft-changes-naughty-sexting-kin-ad-camera-to-be-used-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/microsoft-changes-naughty-sexting-kin-ad-camera-to-be-used-fo/

they were thinking "how can we add sex appeal to the kin, appeal to a young feminine audience and mitigate any opposition?

No, I wouldn't think that because I don't see how this is "sexting." He laughs after taking the picture, she laughs when she receives it. And how is a guy's "breast" sexy? An under-the-shirt shot in those lighting conditions would either be a dark blog of fuzz or, if there's a flash on it, mostly just a blob of pale white.

I really can't believe anyone has a problem with this. It's supposed to be two people joking around, but some old creeps in Consumer Reports think it was sexy, apparently. If anything, that's the inappropriate part.]]>Apr 17th 2010 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/microsoft-changes-naughty-sexting-kin-ad-camera-to-be-used-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/17/microsoft-changes-naughty-sexting-kin-ad-camera-to-be-used-fo/
1st: When they released the Zune, the tagline was: "Welcome to the social. I thought: " the social"? WTF?

2nd: When MS announced "Kin," I thought back to the Zune launch, and it started to make sense to me: sure, there will be lots of "Kin"-folk at "the social."

3rd: I thought this could just be a coincidence, but when I heard the hillybilly-hipster music that was playing during this commercial, I knew what was going on: Microsoft is trying to bring Appalachian culture into the mainstream!

Conclusion: Microsoft's marketing team must have grown up on Walton's Mountain.
