Microsoft’s Gates/Seinfeld ad bombs
Pocket Lint writes: "Microsoft’s latest advert featuring Bill Gates and US comic Jerry Seinfeld has been met with an overall negative response.
The 90-second commercial, made by Crispin Porter + Bogusky, that sees Seinfeld bumping into Gates whilst the ex-Microsoft boss is shopping in a discount shoe store, has been panned by the industry and public alike.
Comments on YouTube, where the ad has been posted several times, and watched hundreds of thousands of times already, are primarily negative, with examples like: "That is just stupid", and "I don’t get it…" repeated a fair few times."
