WHOOPS! Microsoft Product Launch Goes Horribly Awry...

Read in app

Well, file this one in the "whoops" category.

Microsoft launched some updates to its Azure cloud platform this week.

And, as Todd Bishop of GeekWire observed, some folks in Norway got so excited that they preceded the Azure presentation at the Norwegian Developers Conference with the following dance routine.

Basically, it's scantily clad girls boogying to a song with lyrics like...

"The words 'MICRO' and 'SOFT' don't apply to my penis."

(At which point a helpful monitor in front of the stage adds "(or vagina)," lest anyone feel left out.)

Microsoft has apologized and is investigating. To be fair, it's not clear whether the company had anything to do with this. But someone is presumably about to get canned.
