TV ad for MSIE...

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

TV ad for MSIE...

Post by Solar »

Okay, so apparently I dropped out of reality and into some strange parallel reality...

I just saw a TV advertisment for MS Internet Explorer... :|

Is it the one where the girl sees a shock site and projectile vomits?

Because if so, Microsoft's new shock-and-awe campaign is doing everything but making me want to use IE.

By the looks of it, no. But that does remind me of a 2007 attempt you might recall (NSFW).

Not quite on topic, but I stopped watching tv like several years ago. And now, when accidentally see something on tv, it seems such an absurd, it almost makes me laugh. Almost, because the stupidity is just sad. That being sad, I don't think I'm from where you are guys, and the tv here is mostly just horrible.

Internet has made it obsolete, and besides if I have any favorite shows I'd like to see (for example, Game of Thrones) - no way in hell that I'm waiting 3-6 months to see it. And crappy movies to kill time? I can find inspiration for that by browsing IMDb. On the rare occasions where I'm too lazy to download local programs and need to use online streams I get it without ads thanks to the Opera browser with the ad-block plugin. Probably the only browser I've found where ad-block works on streaming TV without totally interrupting the service in other ways. :mrgreen:
