The New Vernacular » Advertising Vista Through Jokes

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006 at 2:46 pm | In Media, Technology |

I don’t usually write about advertisements, but this one’s too good to ignore.

I’ve seen plenty of Web sites that try really hard to be “viral” advertisement for some product. They usually have flash animations or games that are usually pretty poorly produced.

www.clearification.com centers around the random, hilarious musings of comedian Dimitri Martin. It’s fairly basic - just a simple animated Dimitri rambling on. It features a few videos and plugs Dimitri’s upcoming comedy tour.

The most interesting thing is that the whole site is really an ad for Windows Vista. There’s a small, but noticable Vista logo at the bottom of the screen and Vista is featured in each of the video shorts.

Or maybe I just like it because I think Dimitri Martin is funny.

Can’t wait for Windows Vista. They said it has the coolest interface.

My mind is like an empty room. Nothing seems worth thinking about. More or less not much noteworthy happening worth mentioning, but it’s not important. I guess it doesn’t bother me. I’ve just been letting everything wash over me lately.

Fortunately it amuses as before…………….I’m trying to keep away from reading posts like this. It is totally meaningless. Ain’t it shame to post rubbish like this?

Cake Poker operates like most other online poker rooms when we talk about deposit bonuses. Your bonus gets injected to your poker account depending on the amount of points you generated by raked hands. At Cake Poker , they measure your raked hands with the Frequent Player Points, which by the way, they will never expire from an active account.
