Cheap, tacky. Makes me seriously concerned for Microsoft's health if they feel they need to resort to this kind of childishness.

- madoublet 14y agoI don't care much for the ad, but it is a shady practice. I have long since used Google (or Bing for that matter) because they have become so complicit with advertisers and content farms that their results have been marred.
- sliverstorm 14y agoI have long since used Google I don't think that means what you think it means. In fact, I'm pretty sure it means exactly the opposite of what you think it means.
- madoublet 14y ago* Correction for your sake: I have not used Google in a long time...
- JasonFruit 14y agoI think that concern is valid even though I agree that Google's shopping results are deceptive to the average user; if Microsoft can't make a campaign out of it that is less about Google's failing and more about how Bing offers better value, it doesn't do them any good.
- bcoates 14y agoI think the point is more to tarnish Google's halo in general than to promote Bing. They want to level the playing field and have people to see Google the way they already see Microsoft, as a generic big evil corporation.
