WTF

News article

MICROSOFT has bowed to public outcry and pulled from the web an ad rapidly gaining fame as "the worst technology commercial ever".

Those who branded the ad offensive drew attention not only to its vomit content, but also the fact that Microsoft backed IE8's ability to hide content from one's spouse.

I bet it was apple fanboi's that complained.

There is just something about how dean cain delivers his lines that make them so much funnier. His smirks and the way he looks as he is talking make it gold.

those ads were so good. good on microsoft, usually their ads are terrible.

from Damo's smh link:

The type of content on the computer is not detailed but, due to the nature of the woman's reaction, some have interpreted the ad as alluding to child pornography.

What kind of nutjob hears "Hairy *@#$@** #@@**#@ dot com" and thinks child porn?
