Microsoft’s Odd (and, in One Case, Utterly Revolting) Ads for Internet Explorer
Microsoft’s Odd (and, in One Case, Utterly Revolting) Ads for Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer 8 is a decent browser , but there’s a new ad for it (showing only online, according to Idsgn, which is where I read about it by way of Daring Fireball) that not only doesn’t make me wanting to use IE, but has me contemplating going door to door, beseeching my ...

Firefox 3.5: The Technologizer Review
Technologizer — ... Firefox 3.5 introduces a private browsing mode–often called a “porn mode” and usually touted by browser companies as having many other uses, such as letting you hide the holiday shopping you’re doing for your family or borrow a friend’s browser without messing up his or her history. (Then again, Microsoft seems to have given up and is running an IE ad pitching InPrivate as a way to avoid seeing your spouse’s nauseating fetish porn.) ...

Worst. Tech. Commercial. Ever?
Technologizer — ... I’m still having trouble keeping solid food down after having been exposed to the Internet Explorer 8 ad that involves a woman projectile-vomiting after accidentally seeing a site her husband had been viewing. But I’m moving on from being appalled to trying to answer an important question: Is it the single worst commercial for a technology product ever? ...

Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 ads prompt head-scratching, lunch-losing
Obsessable News Feed — ... How many layers of management do these things make it through to get approved, with no one injecting sense and reason into the process along the way? It's astonishing. The above ad is merely odd, a couple of the others in the series are equally odd, but I have to agree with Harry McCracken over at Technologizer that the following "use IE8 or you'll projectile vomit all over your husband" ad is flat out disgusting. If you've just eaten you might not want to watch this one after the break. Seriously, is this supposed to be "cutting edge"? It's just gross. ...

Also looking on the bright side: It’s nowhere near as odd and ineffective as years and years of Ask.com ads that cost that company way, way more money than the $500 that Microsoft paid its contest winner. Another plus: Bing’s new singing, dancing spokesman doesn’t vomit onscreen. (Full disclosure: Bing is an advertiser on this site, and I’m a contributor to ...
