Are you getting burned by your browser. If you don't think so, you should read about the fact that Internet Explorer was vulnerable for 284 days out of last year. Firefox is a great browser, which oddly is not what this ad shows. It simply states the Firefox is an alternative if you are getting burned by your browser. I love the PC burning slowly, being a geek, I guess I like melting stuff. Firefox's ad is simple and leave the point somewhat up to your imagination. It ends up having a surreal effect since it doesn't directly sell you anything. Quite the subtle attempt at marketing a free product. If you can't view the video below, click here.
1. I find this ad somewhat odd. Sure watching the computer melt is cool but I'm confused. So it's starts out saying that bad browsers melt our computers and that's bad, gotcha. But then it says "instead of melting your computer with FIRE, or bad browsers, use FIREfox to ignite the web." I just think they're a little bit mixed up here. Now the whole Firefox brand is associated with being burned and melting my computer.
