This article is bizarre. Why is written in such a strange way? "your favorite Redmond techno-giant is sitting on a horse" What the fuck does that mean?

It's blog smack. These blogs produce so much spammy content they have to vary it up with "witty" banter.

That might be a comment on the type of people who read and subscribe to techcrunch now.

It is a reference to the Old Spice adverts which where a viral marketing sensation a few months ago.
