Firefox campaign – Operation: Fight Against Boredom
Firefox recently ran a campaign against IE claiming that IE, and IE users are boring. They produced a video and a fake talk show to virally release the campaign. Well, let's be honest… who uses IE anyway? Apparently some people were offended by what Firefox jokingly claimed:
- 21% less likely to be a sales representative or agent at their current place of business.
- 45% more likely to have gone on vacation in San Francisco within the last 2 years.
- 33% less likely to live with others suffering from high cholesterol.
- 24% less likely to live with others suffering from heart disease.
- 66% more likely to have viewed or listened to audio or video about politics or public affairs news within the last 30 day.
- 89% more likely to have purchased database software for work in the last year.
- 38% less likely to live with others suffering from breast cancer.
- 25% less likely to have breast cancer.
Now, is that anything to be offended about? You've got to be kidding me… It's a joke! Anyway, Firefox is formulating an apology for their not-so-politically-correct statements and they have taken down the site for the time being. I have something to say… does this offend anyone? HEY IE, YOU SUCK, YOU'RE SLOW, YOU'RE AN OLD SPENT HAG THAT SHOULD DIE… AND YOU HAVE HIGH CHOLESTEROL, BITCH.
