AMD executives practice evil eye
When we saw AMD president Dirk Meyer staring into our inner beings from a banner ad, we were compelled to click through and rewarded with a multimedia journey into the dark heart of man. AMD put a little "online event" together to show just how terribly they need a new marketing team. More scary heads on teal backgrounds after the jump.
Apparently Mr. Image Problem didn't have just one bad photo at this video shoot; that's how he looked all day. Either the man is putting on a brave face to hide his stress from a world gone Intel, or they couldn't get him to sit still without an entire baggie of pot.
Dirk starts to talk about senior vice president Daryl Ostrander. But hey, that's not Daryl! That is an engineer peering through the shadows of the AMD jungle.
Ah, there's Daryl. And he's speaking. But why is he silent? Dirk's giant head still speaks audibly. It becomes clear: no one makes a sound, no matter the effort, when Lord Dirk is onstage.
If AMD needs a new marketing strategy, we highly recommend putting their executives in clean-room bunny suits — if only to shield us from their soul-searching eyes.
