Hitachi's Strange Educational Marketing

Hitachi has produced a very weird "School-House Rocks"-type animation to promote their new perpendicular data storage method, which they claim may increase the current space limit on their hd's (specifically their space constrained microdrives) 10 fold.

I've never seen disco-dancing bits before. This one just has to be seen to be believed.

I'd love to know the back-story behind this video. I wonder if some of they guys working on the drives just got bored one night. It's very similar to the HomeStar Runner video for the Bare Naked Ladies "Experimental Film"
