OMG, Microsoft Decides Vomit-Based IE8 Ad Over the Top
OMGIGP was the acronym of one of Microsoft's latest advertisements, and despite the presence of Superman, Dean Cain, the ad (which is really Oh, my God, I'm Gonna Puke" has been removed from from the IE8videos channel on YouTube, and also from the BrowsefortheBetter.com site, which is part of the ad campaign.
A wife asks her husband to borrow his laptop. Once she does, she says: "What's this?" and then vomits.
This is really an ad for IE8's In-Private browsing, commonly known as "porn mode." While a humorous ad for some, for others it was a little over the top.
While removed from both Microsoft's sites and the site of Bradley and Montgomery, the agency responsible for the whole campaign, the ad can still be viewed on YouTube (though not via Microsoft) on Friday.
Watch the video below (downloaded from YouTube, just in case). What do you think? Going too far? Or funny? Either way, it's generated buzz, and that's what an ad is supposed to do.
