Bing! Ballmer Says You're Fired [VIDEO]

Credit:

The video shows a man claiming to have been laid off by Ballmer at a Microsoft meeting related to Bing.

As the story goes, Ballmer was excitedly and repeatedly yelling Bing at the meeting, even pointing to staffers, putting them in the hot seat and telling them to say "Bing." When the man in question didn't exude the right enthusiasm, Ballmer fired him on the spot.

We can't verify if the video is authentic in nature, but we have contacted the guy who uploaded it for comment, and we'll update this post when we know more details. What do you think: real or fake?

(Warning: strong language)

Update (12/21): It would appear that "fake" is the correct answer. The video's creators now tell us "This video is a teaser for our new comedy screenplay about what it means to be a little guy in the land of giants. This is our Christmas gift to the working class."
