For your Wednesday morning amusement, the Sniper Twins have put together this hilarious video promotion for Seagate: a hip-hop office drama, replete with Mac desktops, laptops and servers.
This definitely falls in the "so bad it's good" category, so if you have a low tolerance for office-themed irony, you might want to give it a pass.

Good to see TekServe represented on the small screen. Best indie Mac store in Manhattan!

You should look up the definition of "irony".

My thoughts exactly. My god, you work IN JOURNALISM. Pathetic.

I bet you two are hilarious at parties. Heart!

What?! Expecting people who get paid to write to understand basic English language concepts? How unreasonable.
That's sarcasm by the way.

It should read: "so bad it's NOT good"

Once Seinfeld went off the air I thought we/they would say "OK, irony has been done to death, what's next?" Still waiting...

Just because you find some random video that happens to include Apple products...doesn't make it worthy of a TUAW story.

I must be insane, or the only one willing to admit it, but i thought that was pretty good///

I'm with you tcb.... you occasionally need a break from mbp/iphone/software reviews!

That was actually way better than I was expecting. I mean... not "great" but I guess I had really low expectations. Even the rhymes weren't as awful as I was expecting.

It was hilarious for the first couple minutes, then it got a little tiring. After 4 minutes it was just overkill, like when someone says the punchline of a joke over and over again.
I was pained to see all those poor unused iMacs on the shelving system. It's like seeing puppies at the ASPCA - take one home, make it happy.

That was surprisingly... good.

The video & song, meh. That use of Mac Classics, awesome.

That was actually pretty good, catchy, bit too long, but quite catchy.

I don't know. Maybe it's because I like (good, lyrically sound underground) hip-hop or maybe it's because I LOVE _Office Space_, but I thought that was pretty funny and lyrically deft, especially the beginning.
"Made on company time" LMAO!

If it stopped at three minutes it would have been classic but it went on two minutes too long.

It was a little long, but I don't see why so many are complaining. It wasn't that bad and how hard is it to hit the stop button and move on to the next TUAW post folks?
