This MS Surface ad made me laugh

If you can’t be bothered watching the video the crux of the matter is this – a guy see’s a girl in the bar, throws a few messages her way as well as a drink (via Surface) then leaves the bar with her.
I must say its a very appealing way to attract the women out at night – what shocks me is that both were sober!
That ad just really made me laugh, I found it pretty tacky – I can imagine some people abusing the system by using some form of round-robin approach with sending messages to people, e.g. a guy just pings every table with women with various messages (yep – that’s right, they are playing the numbers game)!
I am writing this shaking my head in disbelief – do you really think that it would be that easy to attract women if there were Surface products everywhere?
Oh dear…
EDIT: I can actually envisage a time where people start suing for harassment in bars for receiving unwanted cheesy little messages sent via the trusty Surface product! …
