Double Rainbow guy stars in Microsoft Commercial - We Dig it
Ok, first off, everyone knows Mashable has a hardon for Apple, and if this was an Apple Ad, a lot more people would like it. I really don’t appreciate Mashable slamming the rainbow man, and showing him in a bad light (for god sakes, he saw a double-rainbow!)
Here is reality - a guy made a popular video by accident, and even though he was a celebrity in one day, he didn’t make a “promise” to us to “keep the meme alive”, nor did he plan to make money. I don’t really get Mashable’s angle with the whole “this guy killed the meme”, because he deserves starring in this TV ad… all the way!
Heck, being on TV has probably been a dream of his since he was a kid, and now he’s making some good money, and exposing himself even further to his fans. Microsoft on the other hand has taken advantage of the situation appropriately, and created an amazing ad. Rainbow man is not a sell-out, nor did he kill a meme. He is a legend. Your argument is invalid.
