Full screen video commercials

[læmænt]

That's great, now we'll have full screen video commercials on websites.

Here: the story

The first sites to feature these commercials include "MSN, ESPN, Lycos and iVillage"... and also UGO. That means Doomworld.

Naturally Mozilla and other browsers won't show these ads (the ads are actually WMV movies). This could lead either to everybody switching to Mozilla (a good thing), or to Doomworld being inaccessible outside IE (a bad thing; seems unlikely, but god knows what might happen).

Oh, well...

The only one I've seen is Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Not too bad.

Obviously none of you have actually read my post with its doomsday prophecies.

Um, it said that it will bypass pop-up blockers. Does this mean Mozilla blockers and such as well? Or just those retarded 3rd party ones?

EDIT: Okay, nevermind. Fucking WMV.

cool, i always like hearing about these new advertising campaigns since it amuses me microsoft is really digging IE's grave.

[Melfice]

Only met one so far but it pissed me off.

[Coopersville]

I get one, like, every 2 minutes.

[AndrewB]

Hmm. Due to Google's popup blocker, I haven't gotten any in ages.

Disable JavaScript and images. The best thing they can do then is disable access to the site entirely, and you'll be left with the better parts of the web.
