IE8 Takes it to That Place (Warning: Puke)
Agency Spy —
I've been watching these new Internet Explorer ads for a few days, but just came across this one. Dean Cain is still pretty good, but I'm not sure if the puking is necessary — though it's nice to see these folks taking some risks. Warning, aforementioned puke is fareal.
FYI faceless intern Ryan found this and despite the fact that it's a week old, we're posting it. So there.

New Microsoft Commercials Sink To New Lows
Denver Advertising Agency Design Marketing Jobs News for Colorado – The Denver Egotist —
Gawker recently featured a few of the new ads for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8, and they are as tacky as they come. Clearly an attempt to go viral, they use sophomoric humor and awful scripting to get the message across (whatever that is). Poor old Dean Cain used to be Superman, now he’s in supershit commercials.
And before anyone asks, no, these are not done by CP&B. We did a little digging and found out they come from an Indianapolis agency called Bradley And Montgomery; the same agency responsible for last year’s Mojave spots. The F.O.M.S. is bad, but the first spot with the projectile vomiting is terrible. Oh, and ...

I saw this news come across my feed the other morning but just got around to checking it out. Jesus, do I wish I hadn't. A new low. First of all, the subtext of the spot is that the husband is looking at disgusting porn at the breakfast table. Er, ok. And second, the wife vomits. Repeatedly. Then, if that ain't enough, he slips in the vomit. And how does this disaster end? Dean fucking Cain shows up. This is a huge bowlful of ass. Looks like they've (mercifully) taken it down. Woof guys.
Sick or sad?

Negative residual was one of the things Marcus Tarrant used to always bang on about all those years ago when I went to Copyschool. I don't think the people responsible for this ad ever got that lecture. ...
