Microsoft Pulls IE8 Advertisement

Kreij · Jul 7, 2009, 01:09 PM

Since IE8 falls under the category of general software, I figured this is the right place to post this little news tidbit.

Microsoft created a tongue-in-cheek advertisement that has caused some people a bit of angst. After being criticized for it's rather tasteless approach, Microsoft pulled the ad.

I think this may be one of Microsofts best ever. It is a bit over the top but I couldn't help laughing out loud. Not for those with weak stomachs.

OMGIGP ad

My uncle wrote a little program to get rid of that stupid ad ages ago

MRCL · Jul 7, 2009, 01:23 PM

Oh that slipping-on-puke? Heh I snickered, but I believe for most people its plain disgusting etc.
I would rather have seen what pages the husband actually visited.

Kreij · Jul 7, 2009, 01:27 PM

I think it is actually a brilliant marketting ploy. They make a controversial ad, then when people complain they pull it and it ends up on YouTube getting hundreds of thousands of hits. Microsoft is off the hook and they're getting tons of free advertisement.

Yeah yeah it was on swiss newspapers as well lol.

Triprift · Jul 7, 2009, 01:35 PM

first time ive seen it and lol even though it woudnt of lasted 5 minutes on Oz tv as some lameass persons would of complained about it.

DaveK · Jul 7, 2009, 01:40 PM

I thought it was kinda stupid but we do need more ads like this on TV :P People get offended too easily these days.

Kreij · Jul 7, 2009, 01:44 PM

This is the first time that I saw it also, and it caught me off guard as it is so far removed from anything I would expect Microsoft to make. lol

newtekie1 · Jul 7, 2009, 01:46 PM

I hate news like this, a company has to pull and ad because of some whiney stuck up soccer moms that didn't like it. Well if you don't like it:

BAM problem solved...

Thats the great thing about TV, no one is forcing you to watch it. If you don't like something, change the channel. It is much easier than spending a bunch of time complaining to various agencies and the company, that is valuable time you should probably be using to find a job instead...

Too much of a hassle. Rather sue the Hell out of everyone, prohibit everything and piss off everyone else. THATS the way folks. Now, has anyone see my knife?

trodas · Jul 7, 2009, 03:13 PM

It is not a surprise, because it come from people just like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvsboPUjrGc

So, not a reason to wonder about it

FordGT90Concept · Jul 7, 2009, 03:16 PM

LMFAO! Nice. It is understandable why they pulled it but still....

"Use IE8 'In private Browsing'"

they make it seem like they're the only one who has it.. Guess they don't know about FF "Private Browsing"?

Meh, didn't like the ad only because it was horribly done. OMGIGP? Oh you're cool now man!

Triprift · Jul 8, 2009, 10:26 AM

Doesnt stop it from being funny though more ads should be like that.

Frick · Jul 8, 2009, 02:15 PM

Hey, that ad was good! It worked on me! *must have IE8, must have IE8 braaaaiiinnss*

Mussels · Jul 8, 2009, 02:38 PM

oh god, you missed the best part.

hairyv*ginasmeethugep*nises.com is what the guy says - and if you put it in, it redirects you to a firefox ad >.<

edit: starred out some letters, you can guess them if you're old enough.

Lol please forgive me Mussels if i dont try that one for myself

tigger · Jul 8, 2009, 02:42 PM

Could well have been very clever marketing strategy.They release it knowing full well it will get pulled which means it gets lots of attention.
