Microsoft Needles Google With Lame 'Googlighting' Spoof

"Googlighting." Who greenlighted that? Microsoft takes a swipe at Google's cloud-based productivity/collaboration software in this send-up of Reagan-era TV series Moonlighting, with a slimy Bruce Willis-type salesman glibly pitching to an unimpressed Cybill Shepherd-type corporate boss. Ha ha! Whatever. Microsoft scored twice last year with two fairly funny videos, attacking Gmail in one and "obsolete" IT plans in another. Here, however, the concept falls flat (three times as many dislikes as likes on YouTube), with most detractors pointing out that Moonlighting is simply too old and obscure for many viewers to appreciate the central joke—even some boomers, at whom it's targeted.
