There's a webpage with fan-made commercials for Firefox. This one made me laugh:

Here're more:

The IT one is pretty funny.

Where's abe to clarify why or why not the rest of us should find them funny, and what the greater moral ramifications are for society from these fan-made ads.

If you'll notice, the icons indicating "working status" were constantly busy and the firefox icon was not. The message: firefox is faster.

I showed the first one to my wife - who is not really interested in any browser beyond Safari - and she laughed REALLY hard. Dumb? Sure! But funny-dumb.

I think your links are broken. They linked to very bad firefox commercials that weren't funny at all.

I didn't realize that Safari's needle spun or the Netscape logo went "Na na na na na na" to indicate a page was loading. The only "working status" I saw was IE, and that was just to accentuate the joke...

Here I was thinking this lame thread wasn't worth my time (except maybe the Double-click Relief commercial) - and Post of the Week - Software competition!
