Xerox.
Every time Xerox, Kinkos, or some other office supply or IT company comes out with a new product that increases employee productivity, the commercial seems to always be some guy in a suit doing cartwheels or running out of the office tossing papers in the air in jubilant exaltation.
I know they are just trying to make a point that we, as employees, should be excited about some new product that will save us valuable work time. In reality I find it hard to get excited about anything relating to work. The last time I even attempted a cartwheel in excitement was when I got a Gameboy for Christmas back in 1990.
If my office were to get a new fancy copier I can predict my reaction exactly. I would walk over to the machine, push a few buttons, nod my head slowly in approval, walk back to my desk and chew a celebratory piece of Citrus Burst Trident gum, but that wouldn't make a very good commercial.
