The iPod box, as rethought by Microsoft We did a quick search on this before posting it because do you ever go through one of those insecure stages where you feel like you’re the last person to receive viral videos? Anyway, iFilm currently has a 3-minute video posted that re-imagines the sleek, suitable-for-keeping iPod box as if it were designed by Microsoft. The iFilm synopsis claims that it “was produced by Microsoft’s marketing people for an internal design meeting.” We’re a bit suspicious of that, but, nonetheless, we hope you’ll enjoy watching as the box becomes increasingly littered with rebate offers and lengthy product names.  —Posted by Catharine P.

99% of good design is saying "NO!" to MBAs.

Needs to be required viewing for every client.

Unfortunately, the frustrating part is it'll just be seen by us ad people.

Why not pass it on to Brandweek!?

“was produced by Microsoft’s marketing people for an internal design meeting.”

its true. i know the person who designed this. the reason there's no design firm named attached is for obvious confidentiality reasons.
