Weird Videos: Fan Made Zune Advertising Gone Wrong

Zune fans are PHAT. Yes, PHAT – pretty hot and tempting. They also have a vivid imagination when it comes to their own fan-made advertising. We think YouTube user ButternutJelly is a Zune fan, but we’re not so sure.

Clearly drawing inspiration from Tubgirl, he made this short film for Microsoft’s Zune. If it didn’t include a disclaimer, I’d have thought it was from Microsoft’s advertising team. Warning: it’s quite disturbing.

Virtual Guard Dog digitalizes your home security

[ev type="youtube" data="KIUB2lFeECI"][/ev]

It’s understandable why some people don’t like dogs. They smell, they’re always feeding on your treasures, and some people have powerful allergic reactions to their shedding fur. But what you gain not having one, you lose in personal home security. The Obscura Digital Dog is a totally fabricated doggy copy. The Obscura software allows users to turn any surface into a guard dog infested area. Beware of virtual dog!

Combining high-definition media and a full-screen canvas the dog looks virtually real. Except for the fact that it’s see-thru, of course. Multiple projections compensate for any video abnormalities. The technology isn’t necessarily mainstream yet, so you’ll have to wait a bit to take this home in a doggy bag. — Andrew Dobrow
