Weird.

Looks like an in-house prank that "accidentally" made it onto the web. How stupid of them to have been involved with this.

Wow! I'm more than a little shocked. I could understand if this was made by some sales guys that were just goofing around at a conference, but the CEO himself? In a day and age where you can find just about anything online, I wouldn't expect the head of a major corporation to involve himself in something so juvenile and stupid. People lose their jobs over silly little things like this.

wow!
Over the last few years Autodesk have shown themselves to be a scummy, self centred and pretty obnoxious company. This is without a doubt the scummiest move yet.

no doubt, if any heads roll for this, it won't be any of those shown in the video
