Parallels has posted a spoof of Eminem’s “Not Afraid” set in a Microsoft-inspired office and an Apple-inspired Avatar world on YouTube.

“I feel like Jake on Pandora!”
That is just about the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
Cute and pretty creative, but dumb nonetheless.
That was painful.
What a waste of energy. Dumb.
I think that was a virtual something or other.
Amusing, inventive, creative and funny. Keep in mind folks, this is NOT a TV commercial; it is a YouTube spoof, meant for viral consumption. As such, it is allowed much greater latitude than for ordinary TV.
There is a very large audience out there for fans of whoever Eminem is. It is more than likely that they’ll be greatly amused by something like this.
This is a GREAT ad for VMware!
I like Steve with a ponytail…
Here’s my fave:

great music, great video, great message even if it is from a few years ago!
That’s AWESOME video!
I agree with Predrag. I am certainly not an Eminem fan but give the the creator some credit for inventiveness.
I use to love doing lots of acid too.
MDN – where is the YouTube link for those of us who don’t use Fl(tr)ash?
Wow… actually spent someone’s hard earned cash to produce that!
I brought up a bit in my mouth just watching the first few seconds….
To each their own. I thought it was a pretty good spoof. Not super LOL funny to me, but I got a couple of good chuckles out of it.
Get VirtualBox from Oracle. It works. It’s free.
I watched the video in my iPad. It believe the video is not flash video.
So gay…!
Well, thaaaaaaat was really embarrassing!
Right up there with some of the MS produced internal videos.
The ponytail turns into a MagSafe connector that the blue guy connectors to the flying MacBook. Haha… funny.
But I hope Parallels did not actually commission this thing, because that would be embarrassing (and a reason to use VMWare Fusion instead).
Where can I get those blue socks?
That’s it. I’m going with VMware Fusion.
Mac, YES! Don’t use MS software on my mac so I’m uninfected
Parallels is no match for the expertise of VMware.
