Dell Viral Video Failure?

I really don't know what to say about this, but just watch it if you can sit through it.

Dell the Journey Clad in body armor and armed with his trusty sword, an animated Michael Dell leads down-trodden customers from Proprietaryville to the bliss of Global Standardopolis. Joining him on this musical journey are EMC's Joe Tucci, Oracle's Larry Ellison, AMD's Hector Ruiz and Intel's Paul Otellini. Can our band of heroes defeat the evil "Big Iron" dragon and lead their customers to the Global Standardopolis? This video opened Dell's keynote address at Oracle Open World.

Appreciate your comments and feedback. Ill pass along comments like we left with Valleywag. Perhaps a little context helps to further this conversation and gives some perspective.

This video was created for an audience of 10,000 people who came to hear Michael Dell speak about standards in business computing. Rather than just another speech from the podium, we thought a little fun, maybe even personality, was in order.

Standards in business computing can be a rather mundane topic, yet they are crucial to enabling us to be connected here, or to share photos between friends and family, or to work together using technology versus not being able to share information and connect with each other using technology.

The audience at the event were laughing and enjoying the spirit of the challenge. Look at this as a fun way to get some attention for what can seem like a mundane topic while challenging the norm and nudging the tech sector into new ways of thinking about innovation.

So why youtube? well, many people on the web are tech savvy and/or from the tech business, so it made sense we make it available.

We appreciate your feedback and thanks for the the views.
