Wacky Surrealistic TV Ad from Japan for Windows 3.1

advertisement

A seriously funny blast from the past, courtesy of Boing-Boing. A totally crazy, fast-moving ad in a sort of Japanese Gothic tradition. Must have cost a fortune to produce.

The product is Windows 3.1

'Windows! Windows! Windows!

We think Bill Gates should hire these guys to do the ads for Microsoft's NEXT operating system...

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The ad is high-powered, a bit Gothic, and probably helped sell tens of thousands of copies of Win 3.1 back in 1991...
