I think the ad is rather brilliant. The whole "wtf" vibe is what they were going for. You have to always remember that this ad and the followup ads are part of a much larger campaign that is basically going to be a saga of microsoft advertising. Think of this as one of the first few pages in a chapter within a long book.
- tialys 18y agoThe 'wtf' vibe is also generating all kinds of noise about the ad. Every Mac related website in my RSS feed had an article about it, and it's on every news site I visit. The average consumer may be slightly confused, but the internet large is having it shoved in their face. Isn't that what you'd want with an aggressive ad campaign like this?
- ca98am79 18y agoyeah maybe - but from a purely humor standpoint, it wasn't that funny I prefer "wtf" AND funny, like these skittles commercials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUJ4uorYPoY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUJ4uorYPoY
- jhickner 18y agoThe ad is brilliant, but it's even funnier how many people don't seem to get it. (full disclosure: I loathe MS as much as anyone)
- mattmaroon 18y agoI would agree if it were funny. It's really not. And people stopped reading long books 10 years ago. Now it's all Dan Brown type crap you can polish off in a day.
