Levels Apple would never stoop to in order to sell you a laptop.

MSI, makers of the MSI Wind netbook stooped to levels of desperation today that Apple isn’t able to contemplate, let alone implement. In what we can only describe as a desperate bid to populate the world with more cheap netbooks it has produced a viral marketing video that shows the laptops being throw – and caught – in a man’s rear-end.

I wonder what would happen if you took a MacBook Air to Steve Jobs and suggested such a marketing approach? His foot would probably connect with your arse as it sailed gracefully of the front door and into the unemployment line.

You can watch the video here:

It's ripped off from the sunglass catching thing isn't it?

Yeah but aren't they just subliminally linking the MSI product with an arse and lets face it I can't ever see myself in a shop saying "Yeah I saw this bloke catch one of these with his arse, I think I'll buy one" - er.. nope that's not going to happen.
