Maybe because the song is not in English? Is she singing in Muslim? I bet that’s it.
Are…are you seriously suggesting there is a language called Muslim?
Oh, he’s being serious all right. You can tell because he’s willing to back up his opinion with a wager.
It’s called Jihadese. Whooshish Jihadese. Ne challa gee, challa ga!
(Dude what? No…)

I kinda like that tune, and I’m old and like to fart.
But I really think they should have gone with:
[/QUOTE]OMG. No. Please no. No. Nada. Nyet. Nein.
I am over 60 years old and I beg you: PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THAT AGAIN.
I would rather watch The Weather Channel 24/7 than to experience that again.
(Besides, that link offers up this ad during…“I stopped my hair loss for $39.99.” during the video. Yeah that’s why I do a buzz-cut myself with $15 clippers every two weeks).
And I like the tune the OP is dissing…kinda catchy it is. 
Ok. The music’s kinda annoying, although you might also catch me putting the stereo on “11” in my car, depending on my mood.
The commercial itself is just stoopid. Microsoft, no matter how hard they try, will not ever be Apple. Synth-pop doesn’t make the argument that they are miraculously cool now, and their OS still doesn’t work nearly as smoothly and intuitively for mobile devices, like tablets.
I, too, kill it as soon as I see it. For the stoopid.
That’s It! You!** List!**
You know what you and the Costa Concordia have in common?
You both** LISTED!**
Yeah, okay. Lily is kinda hot, but still a bitch. We like that, though apparently. A different list for you.
This! A Thousand times This! I can shake my couch cushions out and buy a fucking Baker’s Dozen of these right now, but am so offended by THE FUCKING NOISE I won’t buy one EVER!
You’ve made my ever-lovin’ day!
If we’re going to be picky, that’s one of them, and it refers to a specific type of catfish (catfish is actually a generic name for a bunch of different species). Food is one of the subjects where things tend to have a lot of different names, and this is more common to items which “don’t travel well”, items that weren’t commonly traded around until very recently.
Do you like the Cosmopolitan Hotel commercial? The music certainly catches my attention, but I have no idea what the commercial has to do with a hotel.
If we’re going to picky, the word may be “siluro”. Anyway, “catfish” is not "gato … “pescado”
That’s not so bad. No list for you!
You just made the TOP of the list, Buster!
Among other things, because if anything gato pescado would be fished cat (a pez is alive; a pescado is not; pescado can also mean “gotten, obtained”). How is any of that relevant to the rest of the thread?
Wait… you’re not taking this thread seriously, are you?
It’s what people who are born muslim speak.

Dammit! You’re already at the top of the list! I can’t move you any higher!
If the commercial in question is the one I think it is, I would shoot myself in the face before listening to that shit.
Eh. I guess I’m in the commercial’s target age group, but it fails for me because – in my eyes, anyway – it’s comparing two dissimilar products. Touchscreens are certainly nice on portable devices, but I don’t miss that feature on my laptop or desktop. (Also, I selected a MacBook after years of frustration with Windows…)
