the guy's got a fetish for vomit web sites.
I'm no lip reader, but I'm sure I caught "hairy vaginas..."
Muting or beeping out no-no words just ain't enough. And don't get me started on the vomit dribbling (@ 0:36), which I though more disgusting than "projectile-vomiting."

Being "edgy" isn't good enough when your ad doesn't make sense. Given the setting (husband and wife), if he was looking at something he would want to hide from his wife, one might logically conclude that he was looking at porn. So she sees it, and... vomits? Really? It would have been more effective if she kicked him or slapped him or something, but the vomiting is just... puzzling.

Ok aside from this really being a sad statement about what people do on the internet.... WTF is it with vomiting on camera. I don't like vomit, it's not funny, and it doesn't make me what to know what made you vomit.
This seems to be a trend lately on TV and comedy movies. I would just like to say IT IS NOT FUNNY!!!!! So don't actually show the crap coming out of some ones mouth!

My wife has the same complaint. She says that she can't go to a movie anymore without seeing someone vomit, and for the most part she's right. It's not just comedies, either.

Excellent point. They could have made their point with some other form of embarrassment. Like she could have been laughing at him for browsing something embarrassing instead of vomiting. But I guess when you have a monkey running your company, you can expect stupidity.

How is that ad any worse than that E-Trade commercial (think that's the right name) where the talking baby pukes at the end? I found that absolutely disgusting and that was shown on primetime television and not tucked away in the nether regions of the web like this ad. At least the MS ad was trying to make some sort of point with the vomiting.
As a side note, WTF does this have to do with Apple? Must this site lower itself to posting flame bate for the Mac addicts to mock and scorn Microsoft? And why must the Apple faithful lower themselves to immature levels to constantly berate MS?
