Mainframe Meets 'The Office'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the who-knew-big-blue-was-funny dept.

BBCWatcher writes "Tom Foremski (a.k.a. Silicon Valley Watcher) claims that IBM is doing some guerilla marketing for the mainframe. The three videos, now on YouTube, show how IBM allegedly trains new mainframe salespeople, in the style of the BBC's "The Office." IBM's videos arrive in the midst of a Microsoft "Office" controversy. Microsoft was not amused when somebody leaked internal training videos from 2004 that feature Ricky Gervais, The Office man himself. Gervais wasn't happy either."

    stop linking fucking blogs that link to other fucking useless blogs that link to nothing useful. You're a piece of shit and we all know advertising money you try to earn this way is not enough to pay a rent and leave your parents house. It's just because you like blogger's limp dicks in your mouth. amirite?
