This has to be a joke. Surely a respectable corporation wouldn’t go so low with an advert as bad as this.

Interesting that it is not being aired on TV. Maybe it was just a fun thing they did when making one of their usual style of uncreative ads. An outtake if you will.

Here is another one almost as bad.  (No barf, at least.)

Shock ads can work, but not if the product is totally lost in the ad.  Perhaps they figure that their target audience doesn’t really have a choice and just needs to feel good about what they are stuck with?

Hilarious ad. OMGIASCTMN (“Oh My God I Almost Spit Coke Through My Nose”) when they beeped out Hairy—————————————dot com.

The only people who won’t find this funny are Apple fanbois and holy rollers. If they could find a way to offend those idiots who bought “Smart” cars, they’d nail a trifecta.

Can we PLEASE stop using “fanboy” and the oh-so-hip variation “fanbois” (WTF is that? A nod to Avril Lavigne?).  It’s mindless, lazy, net-speak jargon and an insult to the intelligence. If you must describe a fervent Apple fan, please just use “apple zealot”.  It’s actually one less letter to type and it doesn’t make you look like a trendy jackass.

Yeah, using “fanboy’ is just cheesy insult from a Windows weirdo.

Nope, couldn’t even say it with a straight face. The need to hurl insults is just beyond me.

The fanboi label predates Avril Lavigne by about 20 years.

Having someone throw up in your ad is a great way to make people want to use your product. It looks like they’re saying IE8 will make you puke.

Well it wasn’t IE8, or any other version of IE, which while ugly isn’t really puke inducing. If you read his lips you can go determine the websitehe had been visiting hairyzuneusers.com

Man, Microsoft is really getting desperate when they have to focus their advertising on 13 year old boys who think fart jokes are what comedy is all about. Why don’t they just put their energy into making better products?

video removed but the thumbnail image remains, ugh. glad I didn’t eat ...
