OK, for those of you who missed it, here's a typically bland Microsoft print ad, featuring a beautiful cultural rainbow (and what looks suspiciously like a MacBook).
The Polish apparently aren't as enthusiastic about the colors of the rainbow, and the ad was slightly modified for that market:
TechCrunch invited parodies, and received a huge number. My favorites star Jar-Jar and the blue screen of death:
I mean this sincerely, the Clone Wars episodes featuring Jar-Jar were so funny that I've become quite fond of him.
*Previously: If Jar-Jar became Dr. Manhattan.
*Buy Jar-Jar Binks toys at eBay.
