+ Advergirl points to a post over at ipodobserver which claims that Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla on Tuesday to confirm with them that his company initiated the creation of the iPod packaging parody video.

"It was an internal-only video clip commissioned by our packaging [team] to humorously highlight the challenges we have faced RE: packaging and to educate marketers here about the pitfalls of packaging/branding," he said via e-mail. [snip] Mr. Pilla noted: "While MS did not release the video, it's natural to share funny things with friends. So while we didn't publicly share the video, it was shared with appropriate teams internally. We're happy to see others enjoy the laugh as well."
