Here it is, the winner of Microsoft's 'Bingle' contest.
A few of weeks back, a couple of the Bing interns posted a video on YouTube launching a Bing jingle contest. With a grand prize of $500, they were looking for a catchy song to go along with Microsoft's latest 'decision making' engine, Bing. The the winning jingle has been announced and good grief is probably the only way to describe it.
When we wrote about the contest there were only two entries. The winner, and the one we ended up embedding in the story. When you see the video, you might understand why we chose the guy yelling, "I like to Bing it, Bing it!" when given the choice. That said, the winner was chosen by the number of views and the quality of ratings on YouTube so maybe I'm alone in thinking it's just awful. Check it out below.
Also if anyone is planning on joining the Bing facebook group, we'd like to point out that it seems one of the interns has linked to his or her desktop instead of Facebook on the page with the contest announcement. You can become a fan here if you're interested.

That was bloody retarded.
I hope to god this is a joke
Jingle All the Way.
My internet sounds more like "google".
HA. April Fools!!... oh its August 6th... i guess that's just a Microsoft Fail. Terrible Terrible Fail.
Wow, more fodder for the I'm a Mac ads. lol
Anyone else think its hilarious that there were only 2 entries for a $500 contest! man, noooobody uses bing lol
My internet sounds more like "google".
Google for life.
my eyes started bleeding, and my ears shriveled up
I use bing all the time; so I can get cashback. I like free money what can I say.
I like it. It's catchy.
ROLFMAO! Seriously?
I'm not one to use the term ghey...but um....
I swear that's taken from some 70's acid fueled kids 'edutainment' programme
actually, however atrocious the song is, 'bing goes the internet' is a pretty clever slogan... and its just been handed to MS for free... I think a lot of marketing types may soon be out of a job
this bird dances better than you
and to a much catchier tune might i add

Horrible, simply horrible.
No guys... this DOES sound like something Microsoft would put in a commercial..
I am sitting here watching that stupid video going "this is soo ridiculous, no one could possibly think this was a good idea!!" and then when I heard the chorus again I realized that it is so stupid that it's something Microsoft's ad team would do.
So it actually makes sense...
Unbearably wretched. Only Microsoft would think that this crap was acceptable for a marketing campaign. Even the most palsied of startups wouldn't dream of spending money on something this dreadful.
All I can say is... "EW"
I cant beleive Microsoft allowed this to be they're Jingle.
I posted on that video sometime ago about how ghey and retarded it was on the youtube comments when it was like first submitted. I was rated way down and got angry comment on my profile. I am glad other agree because I thought there was no hope left for the world.
bing for life
google has a decade old UI . more suited for 90s LOL **
*fanboi*
Ironic that this video looks like it was made with crappy mac software...
This is just wrong on so many levels!
Wow I've never had anything make me want to shoot myself in the face more than that. I think i would actually pay money to never see that again. Maybe that's why MS will use it? Something so unbearably awful that everybody would start donating money so that it never sees the light of day?
I think that just gave me cancer...thanks.
