MBU vs. HBO: Microsoft kills Entourage

08/14/09 17:50

Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit announced today they’re pulling the plug on Entourage. Says a spokesman, “It hasn’t really been good since Season 2 anyway. Ari, Turtle, and Drama are the only interesting characters. Vince is basically a typical celebrity d-bag, and Eric has never done much for any of us in the MBU.”

Microsoft managed to kill the HBO series by introducing a Silverlight-based bug that hosed every Mac in the show’s production department, wiping out months of filming and editing work. “It worked like a champ,” said a MS source. “If Heroes doesn’t pick up this season, NBC better watch their back -- we have the ability to whack their entire prime-time lineup faster than you can say “Jimmy Fallon hosts the all new ‘Deal or No Deal: People and Their Pets Edition.’ Ya feel me?”

A spokesman for HBO let our call go to voicemail. NBC’s publicity department issued a terse “We don’t comment on unannounced products.”
