| MSN Preview from 1996 (featuring Anna Faris) |
 |
CLICK "MORE INFO" ABOVE TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS
IS!!!
This is the set of videos for the MSN Preview
that shipped with the MSN 2.0 software,
created on October 17, 1996.
MSN 2.0 was supposed to be a radical shift in
the way people viewed online content. The
preview featured a variety of "real people"
who represented the 6 channels of the
software's main section, called On Stage.
Most of the acting is really canned, but what
else would you expect?
Unfortunately, the software was way ahead of
its time. In 1996, people were trying to use
this software with 16 MB RAM and 14.4k
dial-up modems. No one really knew what to
expect from the Internet back then anyway.
You'll hear these people talk about web sites
and e-mail like it's something
unprecendented.
This effort from MSN failed because computers
in 1996 weren't ready for all of this
content. The internet would ultimately become
a place that people could browse by
themselves, without relying on a single
online service. By 1998, MSN's entire site
was back to a "normal" page, with no more
fancy content. Regardless, this set of videos
was probably the most interesting promotional
item that MSN has ever put together.
There are 8 parts to this video:
0:00 - Outside the theatre
0:45 - Inside the theatre's lobby - Your eyes
don't deceive you: The girl that appears at
1:20 is Anna Faris; in 1996 she was an
unknown actress, she became popular in 2000
for her role in "Scary Movie"
1:58 - Channel 1 (MSNBC news, weather,
sports) - watch a truly vintage MSNBC
commercial hosted by Brian Williams
2:32 - Channel 2 (showbiz, games, drama)
3:09 - Channel 3 (arts, nature, history)
3:54 - Channel 4 (self, health, wealth)
4:31 - Channel 5 (media, zines, attitude) -
the weirdest one BY FAR! stay tuned for this
part. this girl coined the phrase "too stupid
to stop" that haunted some people during the
installation process of MSN 2.0
5:07 - Channel 6 (fun, teens, comics)
These videos were filmed some time after July
1996 and before September 23, 1996. I
couldn't find any information about any of
the other actors/actresses who appear
throughout the videos. They all go
uncredited.

LYRICS
Google:
Your new system hasnt gotten many users
They only use Vista cuz it came on their
computers
Step to me - Ill wrestle you blue
My dyslexic fans, they call me "El Goog"
Well connected - i got crazy links
S-E-O just means what google thinks
Smart people, they wanna work for me
That's why I jack you for your employees
Gmails got females - on fire like foxes
i'm six gigs deep, up in their inboxes
Search market share: 4% you
68 me. this battle rap is through
MSN:
You bought Youtube for 2 billion bucks
He bought Youtube, the search still sucks
Your icon's a joke - it's just a doodle
Your name sounds like a baby retard poodle
Youre net apps - they're slow- they dont
work,
nobody uses them, they go for the search
I own your platform, I own IE,
I own all degrees of the game, 3-60
You steal my people? heres the stor-y
I buy Facebook and jack your employees
You might have users, but they'll soon be
leavin ya
cuz your search results say search Wikipedia
