haha.. no way that's 6 AM in Redmond, WA. Either the video was done couple months ago or they just pretended to be. Nice Mac there, Jay-Z.

I thought it was lame and not funny at all. I can not stand Bono and most of the other cameos in there, plus the jokes are poorly done, of corse it probably cost $5 million to produce.

i chuckled a bit at the Obama and Jon Stewart parts. Cringeworthy? Of course. But when was the last time that you saw Bill Gates speak and didn't cringe a little?

He's the founder of Microsoft and he doesn't have a better car? Wow, I mean Vista was so tasteless, but a Focus just seals the deal.

And I love the Mac in the studio.

nothing is wrong with a FORD...granted he should be driving a Fusion but still, a Focus is a nice car.

Pretty funny.

In all seriousness, I love to hate the guy, but he's going to be a lot harder to dislike when he's dedicating most of his time and money to saving the world.

Driving a Ford Focus; 1) It offers Microsoft Sync. 2) It's the cheapest car from the Ford line up, made him a typical guy with a typical car.

I guess.

He should be driving a Ford GT, not a Fusion. And it's Ford not FORD. Like how Mac isn't MAC.
