Microsoft Removes Projectile-vomiting IE8 Ad From Web

**MIG-31** · Jul 2, 2009, 10:14 PM

An online ad for Internet Explorer 8 that showed a woman projectile vomiting has left such a bad taste in viewers' mouths that Microsoft has decided to remove it.

The ad, which features American actor Dean Cain and shows a woman vomiting after seeing her husband's Web browsing history, is still available via YouTube. However, Microsoft has removed it from the IE8videos channel on YouTube and the BrowsefortheBetter.com site. That site is part of Microsoft's campaign to promote IE8.

Agreed, just reading the news made me chuckle.

(Although, depending on how it was done, it probably was a little nasty.)
