Subject: Microsoft's Dinosaur Ads Look Like Reptoid Conditioning

Ken,

I am a great admirer of yours, and I was most cheered when you characterized your website as a kitchen table effort. It is amazing that so much can be accomplished with small resources.

I just wanted to bring to your attention the appearance of ads, for example in the current or last week's Time magazine, of ads from Microsoft with the theme "Microsoft Office has evolved". The pictures show presumably human models wearing dinosaur heads.

Microsoft video showing reptilian heads on human bodies:

Here's a link to an article about them: http://www.netimperative.com/2005/04/13/Microsoft_viral

What I feel looking at them is that I am looking into an office populated by reptoids. I am just wondering what they are up to here, conditioning?

I am not expecting any response from you about this. I haven't seen anyone else commenting on this, and I just wanted to surface the issue a bit.

Best regards,

Ed Walsh
