    The first commercial needs more puke. Way more puke. Like rivers and oceans of puke. But get rid of the sets and the actors. And the words, they just get in the way of the message. And that message is: puke. Do all that and THEN YOU'VE GOT A COMMERCIAL, HOT-CHA!

    Pretty much nothing that MS does now, is going to make up for the fact that their software has bloated beyond recognition, so far from its origins, that it disgusts me. Therefore I guess, in a way, this is an appropriate commercial. Only, I'm not hurling for the reasons they seem to imply.

    Dude, Harry McCracken is wrong *all the time*. I think this is a great ad, except that it won't get me to use IE8. Also these ads aren't Crispin Porter, they're from an Indianapolis ad agency and they're directed by Bobcat "Shakes the Clown" Goldthwait. I'd include a link to a post I wrote about it but I don't want to look like I'm trolling. I just really, really like Shakes the Clown.

    @Peter Kafka: That is the second reference to Shakes the Clown I've read in the last hour. What are the chances? Is the universe trying to tell us that Bobcat's next on the Random Celebrity Death List (tm)? (Please say no.)

    Dean Cain looks like the Native American who wept about litter. I guess there's a parallel.


    He used to be hot. I guess he's rebranding himself as the new William Shatner.

    @jimstoic: Interestingly enough, that "native" actor was also white, so maybe Cain can relaunch those ads for a new age.

    Am I the only person who thinks both of these were awesome? Ineffective, sure, since downloading IE is like inviting a vampire into your home, but funny. Dean Cain is the William Shatner of our age.

    This is Crispin Porter, right? This style is so fucking played out. After this, does the husband meet up with his douchebag bros for a "wacky" night at Burger King?

    Crispin is pretty much doing weird ads for the sake of being weird. That's the death nail to any creative agency.
