This video is a parody, but it hits the mark dead on: Microsoft iPod packaging parody. It's a perfect spoof of the failure to value simplicity. The beauty of it is that you can't quite identify the point where it becomes absurd, where even a big company full of committees wouldn't take that step, but by the end, they have clearly sunk the product with their stupidity.

The video is full-screen so that you can see the details.
