Kinect ad in the washroom? Really Microsoft?

I understand the need to market one’s products but I think this might have been going a tad overboard.

It seems that Jose Otero from 1UP.com found this hanging in his bathroom when he returned from from the Nintendo Press Conference at E3.

I left my room early this morning to go to the Nintendo Press Conference, where the company finally revealed their new video game machine. I spent a lot of time at the exhibit hall, and played some games. I’m not sure what exactly happened between the time I left earlier today and when I finally returned, but I found this hung in my hotel bathroom.

Seriously Microsoft?

    I don’t think it’s going far enough. MS should have equipped the toilets with Kinect, so you could flush by waving your hands. :)

    These ads actually appeared in Microsoft’s bathrooms (the ones that their employees use) as Kinect was being released.

    I actually think this is very clever. Bathroom advertising is pretty rare, but it’s a captured audience and it tends to be memorable.
