Here’s a video of some Microsoft retail employees in their fake Apple Store in Mission Viejo, California, faking “spontaneity” via, of all things, some rendition of “The Electric Slide” gone horribly wrong and performed, of course, to the wrong song:

The apple stores in palo alto are always too crowded for a failed flashmob
This is what they do because there are no customers buying anything. The people sitting in the background are mall walkers who spotted an empty place to rest.
You imagine there are some layoffs coming at this store? It’s like the Sony store got down to two employees talking to each other all day until they finally shut it down.
ohhhhh….
and boom goes the dynamite!
When these stores close and these folks are out of work they will have a new “skill” for their resumes. And when it is announced they are all out of work please remember this video before saying how sad it is.
OK, did they really yell “Mozeltoff” at 1:50?
First, Windows 7 parties. Now this. It just gets better and better.
First the clapping on opening day.
Now spontaneous (and really awful) dancing.
I’m afraid to know what’s next. Seriously, that’s the last one of those youtube vids I click on.
It’s telling that Microsoft Store employees have the time to do what is nearly a five-minute dance. Sales must be so-so. I wonder if these “Wannabe Apple” customers are even aware of how pathetic Microsoft seems to be. Or are they in their own reality distortion field?
What the fsck are they dancing about? Lousy products? A culture of imitation? A company that violates every law it can get away with? Mediocrity (at best)? Conning consumers? I just don’t get it.
OMG! It cannot get more cheese on the cheese scale.
Did anyone see that customer dancing at 2:12? Did she just shoplift??
…and it keeps going and going. Painful.
See how its done at an Apple Store.
Disturbing
All overweight, just like their operating system.
It’s like a dork who sees two kids get into a playful, spontaneous water fight. He then runs up to ask them if they can come over to his house at 4:00 to have a playful, spontaneous water fight there.
Just give Microsoft the damned wedgie it deserves, tie its gym shoes together, throw them over an overhead wire, and send them packing. They are sooooo uncool.
Hey, let’s do a viral marketing campaign. Something everyone will forward to their friends. Okay, let’s dance repetitively… like that guy on the how to dance like Britney DVD. Yeah. And do it half-@$$. Yeah, like we don’t care. And, most importantly, make it long. People love long repetitive videos about products they’re only mildly curious about. It’s gonna be huge!
I love how one of the laptops in the middle of the store appears to have a BSOD going on.
Customer: Could I get some help?
Employee: *clap* In a few *clap turn* minutes
Customer: Umm…
Employee: *dance*
Customer leaves for the Apple Store down a few stores.

@Noodelfarm
of course there is enough room! Nobody wants to actually hang around there.
Pitiful, really pitiful.
Hey! I know what they’re dancing to:
You let the viruses in

You hand the dude your wallet

That’s what Windows is about
