Microsoft Does More Viral Kitsch Stuff for Vista

You might be wondering who the odd man at left is. He’s Dr. Woodrow I. Lovett, Director for the Institute of Advanced Personhood, or Microsoft’s latest attempt to make good on neurotic left-of-center Woody Allen-esque humour. While their Clearification effort invents HANDTOSS, an overachiever disease, the IAP promises solace for such sufferers.

The success of the spoofy sites depend heavily on Demetri Martin, whose latest Comedy Central special was heavily sponsored by Microsoft. We thought Clearification was neat but are now over it. What’s Vista got to offer us? We hear it’s pretty lackluster. When they can invent a cure for underachieving maybe we’ll start paying attention.
