Even though I somewhat agree with Matt's points, I found the ad both tasteless and funny.

  I was hoping it would be funny and as much as I despise WP it wasn't. Not so sure about tasteless - they are trying to appear edgy to a typical mac hipster creative type who don't have a taste. I'm afraid that ad will actually benefit them since their audience is usually brainless, but what would I know, ignorance is a bliss. So more reasons to advise against them to every living soul.

    It's funny because the ad itself is ridiculous. Then there is also an ounce of truth about WordPress in there, at least enough to get Matt triggered. Wix is awful, and everybody should know that. Free and open WordPress, for all its qualities, is somewhat an outdated technology. WordPress is empowering for non-technical people and small businesses. The truth is, it can also be shaky and hard to maintain for the same people, for many reasons tied to its history and development.
