If you're scratching your head right about now, wondering what the above gibberish means, read further.
In what appears to be the most awkward and questionably worded invitation ever, a Microsoft recruiter actually sent out emails to interns asking them to 'hang' with the company's crew at the Internapalooza, a gathering for interns, being held on July 11 in San Francisco. We're not kidding.
Microsoft has now apologized.
The email, addressed to "hey bae interns" and followed by a heart emoticon, first mentions the event and then, "more importantly," invites said bae interns to an after party at their San Francisco office. As if using the teen-lingo wasn't exciting enough, they even mention "breaking out the Yammer beer pong tables!"
Seriously, can you even say no to this?

Hell, yes. The picture was tweeted by user Patrick Burtchaell on July 6 and has since gone viral with more than 3,000 retweets and over 5,000 'likes.'
If you think this was a hoax or a someone's idea of a joke - no, no, you're sadly mistaken. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the invite was real to Gizmodo.com, saying: "The email was poorly worded and not in keeping with our values as a company. We are looking into how this occurred and will take appropriate steps to address it."
Dear Microsoft, did no one tell you what happens when you try so absurdly hard? Here are some tweets to help you:
@pburtchaell So the beer pong tables will be underperforming, lacking in features and will be ignored by the partygoers 5 minutes after use?

@pburtchaell You wake the next morning with no memory of how you got home, and all your computers now have WIndows 10 on them.

@pburtchaell @Tehrasha One does not simply ignore Hella Noms

@pburtchaell @bastianalbers I'm pretty sure I just got eye cancer just from reading "bae" and "lit" in a recruiter email
