Microsoft has launched a few new commercials for the launch of Windows 7. Compared to previous ads this is a serious improvement. You should be able to watch them without having to reach for a vomit bag or feeling those little hairs on the back of your neck going haywire.
Kidding aside I must admit that this is good. They don’t make you regret being a Windows user and you end up feeling positive after watching one.
One thing though: does the girl at 0:17 really say ‘abso-fucking-lutely’???

I think abso-freaking-lutely
Sure it is. But I’m sure LOTS of people will think “abso-fucking-lutely????” before they settle their minds on “abso-freaking-lutely”. Check the thread over at Gizmodo where many more people are noticing the same thing:

One reader even suggests it is an effort to get more blogs to write about it. If that is true I would be VERY impressed….
Guess you forgot about the Seinfeld ads?
I agree, it is abso-freaking-lutely but with that cute little accent yeah it can be confusing!
I agree that this is much better, and I said this with the first set of “commercials” that you mention, but the difference is that this is an actually commercials made for public consumption, not a purpose-driven talking heads video meant for a small group of people who signed up to host a Windows 7 party. Big Difference. So big, in fact, that comparisons between the two are basically meaningless.
It sounds nothing like the article title, it’s clearly abso-freaking-lutely lol
I heard “fucking” and came here to say that.
It is not fucking or freaking. is fricking or frikin depending on how fast you hear her say it.
That would be all.
It sounded more like Abso-frickin-lutely…
Very good job Microsoft. Finally a commercial that is respectable and not just ripping on Apple. You created something that was unique and your own.
no one heard the guy say clit earlier in the commercial???
who wants less clit????
I played it back several times. I’m pretty sure she says “F**ing”. It’s possible that with her accent she’s saying something else. But it definitely sounds like the F word.
wow…. I just saw this ad and I had to replay it like 10 times to clearify….. I still thihk she says absolfuckinglutely,….lol
Gotta agree with Joe. I replayed it for all my friends and family and we all think she said the F word. Even if it is supposed to be something esle, it is so iffy, I can’t believe it made it past the censors or we haven’t heard a major uproar from mothers and/or religious groups everywhere.
Even if the girl did say something other than the f word, you’d think that if it sounded anything remotely like the f word, they would cut it out.
Ok, yeah, those were fairly bad, lol. However, I’m referring to the launch party ‘ads’ that was linked to in the article.
