I honestly did have to check whois. When I first saw this, I thought it was someone making fun of Microsoft.
The ironic thing is, if it had been a parody, I'd have killed it, because it was (or would have been) so heavy handed. But since it's really from Microsoft, it's on-topic, because it's an interesting data point about how completely the company has lost its way.
It goes back many years:

They're all pretty uncomfortable to watch, and are like a parody of someone trying to be funny.
However, I don't think Microsoft not getting it is sufficient reason for us to ignore them. They've done something really right somewhere along the way. I'm not sure exactly what it was, or if they're still doing it, but perhaps staring at it from multiple angles will help figure it out.
