Microsoft Sort Of Apologizes for Bizarre Dance Song

[AwkwardTurtle]

The only complaint I can imagine making about that line is that the entire song doesn't comprise of it.

Indeed.

I found this to be hilarious and all in good fun.

The world needs to lighten up if we're at the point where basically just saying the word "penis (or vagina)" is automatically considered "offensive". It's just a word. No one was hurt, and it was really funny.

That one lyric made my day. I find it somewhat "distasteful" for the event but I still find it hysterical.

 

[Draken Steel]

i liked it lol. pity people have to get offended about... everything.

 

[Tono Makt]

..Still better entertainment than Cowboys & Aliens (finally watched the Extended Version last night, oh god).

I do not see the issue?

Uptight people who would prefer that anything to do with sex never see's the light of anything are quite often offended by the words penis and vagina, regardless of the context.

(There's an extended cut to Cowboys & Aliens? Huh. I might have to see if there's a way to see that for free, just to see if it makes the movie more fun. Not better, just more fun; dunno about other people, but I loved how terrible it was.)

That movie still confuses the hell out of me. I honestly don't know why I found it so boring, if someone described the movie to me before I saw it I would have been quite excited about it. But I watched it with a few friends (not at the cinema, thankfully) and our attention kept drifting off. It was an odd movie, really...

Anyway, I don't see what was wrong with the song. I thought it was kinda amusing, certainly harmless fun. Still, at least I'm listening to some Lordi thanks to this article, I didn't realise how long it had been.

Norwegians are efing mad. And they say us Yanks are prudes. Good show, Microsoft.

God damn it companies, can you not stick by your fucking jokes?

Seriously, major companies need to grow a pair. (I despise that phrase, but its effective)

 

[mysecondlife]

They SHOULD apologize for poor choice of company name.

Oops, I mean--

eh, w/e

 

[josemlopes]

Way better then Usher, this was at least funny and its obvious that its supposed to not be taken seriously

 

[ultrachicken]

Bizarre is certainly an apt description. Also, hilarious.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Ahaha, no. Unfortunately the English language lacks the word that would most efficiently describe my response to this.

 

[Metzeten]

I.... the... What?
Mind truly blown. This is the kind of thing which I would usually cry parody on, but its real...

There truly is no hope for mankind.

 

[Pickles]

Haha fantastic. I can see why some people would take some offense, but doesn't seem like all that big a deal. I really hope whats being said on twitter doesn't become the benchmark for whether or not something is acceptable.

My god, people, this IS a parody. It's made to sound like a scooter song, obviously those guys can't sing so they at least made it funny. And it is funny, in a laid back, offensive sort of way.

USA has a long standing tradition of displaying ignorance towards the rest of the world (that's not even europop) as well as getting so very easily offended by silly things (Europe is much more relaxed in this respect most of the time)

As always, people prefer to scold everyone while sitting on a high horse instead of having fun (or at least letting others have their fun and go about your bussiness).

 

[jpoon]

Holy hell, that is the most idiotic shit I've seen in a long while. What do you suppose possesses someone to write such moronic lyrics and attach it to such terrible music?

 

[JoesshittyOs]

There truly is no hope for mankind.

The baffling part is people actually think this was funny.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't find the joke offensive, just fucking stupid. But holy shit this was up there with "Friday"

I think nowadays it's more a problem with the rest of the world seemingly having a problem with what we think.

But regardless, where did you get that Americans were the ones complaining about this? He said in the post that "Non-Norwegians may have missed it".
