Preaching About Microsoft’s ‘Homosexual Agenda”

When your previous job used to be running around all day in a pair of spandex, getting sweaty with other men and then jumping on top of them, maybe you aren’t the right person to be coming out with a strong stance against gay rights.

Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker turn reverend, Ken Hutcherson of the Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, WA is claiming to be a modern day David against Goliath mega-corporations.

This is the Zeed+ PC, designed by Kenneth W. K. Wu, it took 4th place in Microsoft’s NextGen PC design competition.

Honestly, the designs for some of the other PCs are nicer, but I have stumbled across them on other websites already, so I figured I’d show Kenneth some love.

Anyway, you can check out all the winning designs over at Microsoft in an article they call A Brave New World of Computing

With the PC track record on computer design expect to see these new innovative designs transformed into gray, black and taupe colored towers and desktops with all the innovative design wiped away, while Apple announces and releases their newest model, “the Sphere.”
