It's more creepy than offensive mostly because of her extreme reaction. It forces you to kind of use your imagination. It's obviously not some soft-core girl-on-girl porn she's seeing. It's obviously something far worse which is just really creepy. My first thought was child porn. I doubt that's what Microsoft intended but you gotta be careful suggesting something is REALLY bad or people will assume the absolute worst in many cases.
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoI don't know why you were downvoted. I'm guessing that's exactly why it was pulled.
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoHey, where'd that comment go?
- gojomo 17y agoThere are lots of gross-out possibilities short of the blatantly illegal or even bizarre pornography -- see rotten.com for example. But of course the aim of the ad is to make you wonder. I think Microsoft got just what it wanted from the ad -- lots of voluntary views, much linking/discussion/controversy, and even now with the official versions pulled, people who haven't seen it yet will seek out remaining caches/copies. (BTW, has any skilled lipreader reported what Cain is bleeped saying at the end? D'oh! By asking, I just played further into Microsoft's master plan!)
- fauigerzigerk 17y agoYou underestimate the propensity of some people to be very shocked about completely normal human activities, if only the camera shows them close-up and they're not used to it. For instance, I want to puke when I watch live ultrasound of someone's heart (let alone my own). So if my spouse was a doctor she'd better download IE 8 right away! :-)
