    Epic Animaniacs reference.

    So glad people recognize the Animaniacs homage.

    That's Theresa, my marketing partner in crime. Where the FirePro 3D products are my responsibility, she handles the multi-view products.

    My products are way more fun ;)

    It's tacky, it's cheesy, and it is all totally excused by the fact that it follows the Animaniacs "Good idea, Bad idea" segment format — all it needed was the skullface guy, haha! Yes, it does feel like a local corner office supply store or used car lot TV commercial, but I still grinned the whole way through. The "burning up computer" special effects were also a little cheesy, but still fun. I could tell you did those effects, Bobby, and thus I loved it.

    Fortunately for AMD, they can actually back up all of these claims. If I were in the market for a professional workstation card, I would go with AMD as their cards are less expensive, do use less power (and again, less expensive), and Eyefinity really does kick ass. It's not just snarky drivel-fluff. :D

    I went right from this video to youtube and watched some original Good Idea Bad Idea.... I think you should have tried to use your cousin Penny as a video card...

    It was good and all, but I didn't really see anything that would cause a contreversy.

    AMD legal shut it down. We had to pull it. *shrug*

    It's probably something about 'we can't insinuate that people will be incinerated if they purchase another brand of video card'.

    As true as that may or may not be.... :)
