I've seen the 'live' version of "Internet help desk" before, but now there's a "studio" version, set in an office, with an employee training a new guy.

Received the following message about both today:


Many thanks to Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie for making this genuine
masterpiece available on the net (QuickTime, studio also in WMP).

Studio version:

Live version:

Sometimes, it's hard to tell where the reality leaves off, and the satire
begins...


Ironically, the "studio" version is actually hosted on Apple's mac.com, while the live version is still on their own site (I say ironically because of the punchline at the end of both versions of the skit).

The same group of guys had a song out in early 2001 called "Your OS Sucks." And ripped on everybody. Absolutely everybody. There's an extended version of the song on their website, but I haven't downloaded it, yet. :)

Coincidence that I just got spam in my inbox from the "Candian Tourism Commission?"
