Does anybody find the new windows live photo gallery commercials insulting?

In my opinion, they are ridiculous. They remind me of all of those “so easy a caveman can do it” commercials that geico ran and still runs.
Except this time it’s “So easy a tiny 4 year old asian girl can do it”. WTF?

I find them sort of intimidating. I guess I believed they were true.
For those that don’t know about them, here is one.
Well, my daughter’s a tiny six-year-old Asian girl and she can run my iMac better than some of my twenty-something college students.
i’d be more interested in them if it was a 18yr old co-ed…
@TaoSan: Lurve for Justin Long. What an adorable sweetie he is.
I don’t necessarily find them “insulting” so much as unrealistic. Honestly, what four year old can hold a camera steady enough to take five or six shots to meld them together into a panoramic, even if they are familiar enough with the program to be able to do so? I’m definitely not using Windows Live anytime soon, so I’m not that concerned.
I don’t find them insulting. I think it’s a direct attack on the “mac is so much more user-friendly/easy to use” train of thought.
@everyone: Yeah. Maybe not insulting. But would they sell you a computer?
Microsoft could send a bevy of redheaded supermodel-comic book fangirls bearing two dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies (with walnuts) directly to my door and I still wouldn’t buy a PC.
but I’d eat the cookies
@cprevite you take the cookies, i’ll take the redheads. me-ow.
i think they’re cute, especially the four-year old.
