First Microsoft - Seinfeld Ad Airs: A Commercial About Nothing

Iria · Sep 5, 2008, 05:32 AM

They're here. I wrote earlier about Microsoft's new ad campaign, scheduled to start on Sept. 4th and to feature Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates. The first ad aired during the opening game of the NFL season between Washington and the New York Giants. It's titled "The future, delicious," but I have to say "yuck."

When isn't Tech-Ex slamming Microsoft at every chance they get? Lol... I'm waiting for some originality.

The commercial wasn't as bad as they make it out to be, although I'm not totally impressed with it... it's like, one of those one-time viewables.

Although, at the same time, I find mac commercials overdone and tacky... not sure why they'd bring up how great they are. They're not even accurate and they're rather annoying.

I didn't read the article, but watched the video. I like it. I do like both Seinfeld and B.Gates though, so...yeah, I am biased.

I think it would be better if the ad was about 15 sec shorter.
