Make sure you haven't just eaten and then check out this new online ad for Internet Explorer 8 from Microsoft:
Chris Matyszczyk reports for CNET, "This work is not, as some have surmised, the work of Crispin Porter + Bogusky, the agency responsible for both the 'I'm a PC' and Gates-Seinfeld campaigns. It is the brainchild of Bradley and Montgomery, the folks that brought you the Mojave Experiment."
"The vomit ad is one of a series, all featuring actor Dean Cain," Matyszczyk reports. "The series is taglined 'Browse Better.'"
What were they thinking?
Now that’s just rank.
Shame, shame on Microsoft. Hey, guys: ads are supposed to make people want to use your products, not be embarrassed at the mere sight of their icon.
And there I thought the Seinfeld ads, with Bill Gates de-wedgy’ing his pants, were bad. This is gross and unfunny and very disappointing.
Apple’s amusing “I’m a PC/I’m a Mac” ads raised the bar for computer advertising, and they’ve been very successful. They’re enjoyable to watch, clever and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. To witness as puerile, juvenile and revolting response as this is pathetic.
I wouldn’t even want to *think* about going where that tongue has been... LOL...
Commercial.
Ever.
HA HA! She was looking at MS Word generated HTML.
