Firefox, the open-source browser, launched an open-source ad campaign last year: Users fired up about the browser were asked to submit homemade commercials. The
winners were announced the other day, and we are mightily impressed with the results. Grand-prize winner
Daredevil, which will presumably get tv airtime sooner or later, is polished and professional (we had our doubts about programmer dorks making commercials--see
Wheee!), and
This is hot, which got an honorable mention, is as good as anything from
Pixar.
Whee starts really stupid, although it did make me laugh at the end. It is still a piece of crap. The "famous" judges totally fkt their reputations by signing off on it.
ReplyDeleteRe-watching them, I think This is hot is best. Daredevil is boring.
