Microsoft Tortures Little Kids With Bing Jingle

,----[ Quote ]
| As you can see in the video below, Microsoft 
| has forced a bunch of middle schoolers in 
| Pennsylvania to learn and perform Mannâs Bing 
| song. The horror. Itâs hard to watch this 
| without immediately thinking about parents who 
| accept money to allow their child to be 
| sponsored. Is this the future of branding?

The strangest Microsoft video ever?

,----[ Quote ]
| It seemed to me to be rather good business at 
| the time. Microsoft spent very little money 
| and received much publicity. However, some new 
| footage of the Bing jingle being performed has 
| struck me in the eyes and buried itself in my 
| worried parts.
| 
| You see, it features many, many children from 
| the Keith Valley Middle School in the non-
| Amish region of Pennsylvania singing the 
| jingle, dancing to the jingle and wearing 
| uniform T-shirts imported from the Left Coast.

Bing Search Tainted by Pro-Microsoft Results

,----[ Quote ]
| The first of the search results about the Microsoft Word question linked to a
| page about how expensive Manhattan is (Is Microsoft competing with Manhattan
| now?). The top responses to the "Is Microsoft Evil?" question were, get this,
| a link to a New York Times story about whether or not Google is considered
| evil, a link about proxy servers, and a link to a story about Microsoft being
| charitable. Wow.
