Be prepared to be blown away — not by the double rainbow, but by Vasquez’s tearful reaction. [1]
The Redmond giant has recruited Paul “Hungry Bear” Vasquez (aka “the double rainbow guy “) of viral video fame to create a new ad for Windows Live. [2]
Paul “Bear” Vasquez, the man who famously saw a double rainbow all the way across the sky, has extended his day in the sun by starring in some new Microsoft ads. [3]

It was obvious that I should be a spokesman for Windows photo gallery.” [4]
Vasquez’s YouTube video of his reaction to spotting a double rainbow at Yosemite National Park went viral earlier this summer, racking up over 12 million views on YouTube and inspiring no shortage of remixes, songs, and other creations. [2]
But to be honest, we didn’t really need to see this hawking of a product by someone who had pretty obviously never used it before a team from Redmond knocked on his YouTube account. [7]

We know we’re not alone when we say that Paul “Bear” Vasquez made us turn all different colors of happy when we checked out his double rainbow video a few months back. [7]
