Steve Ballmer, rock star

First the source videos:

What species is this?

I still find it outright creepy - his rendition of "love" says it all...

Yeah, creepy.

Certainly very, very fake.

The audience sitting there applauding politely at his antics is funny.

He is trying to force excitement. But excitement doesn't work that way.

In fact, there is an element of "forcing it" in everything this company does. This is the polar opposite to creativity.

Right.
Tony Robbins apparently has a lot of that too.
It is very interesting. I always had a very adverse reaction to people trying to convince others to be cheerful or something.

Brahma be praised, so I am not the only one viscerally allergic to laugh tracks and political propaganda! And family gatherings. Where there's ALWAYS somebody to pretend it's all love and zero conflicts. (Cringe)

Makes me glad that I live in a totally Microsoft free zone! :)
