The ads, widely panned across the Internet, were but the latest in a string of Microsoft's attempts to draw attention away from iOS devices by way of parody.<br />
<br />
The ads were posted from Microsoft's Windows Phone YouTube account. They mocked the fingerprint sensor on the <a href="http://macnn.com/rd/293926==http://www.electronista.com/articles/13/09/10/touch.id.sensor.brings.fingerprint.recognition.to. iphone/" rel='nofollow'>new iPhone 5s</a> and the plastic build of the <a href="http://macnn.com/rd/293927==http://www.electronista.com/articles/13/09/13/multi.colored.iphone.still.set.to.ship.on.septembe r.20th/" rel='nofollow'>iPhone 5c</a>, among other things. At two minutes long, the ads were likely intended solely for Internet distribution.<br />

<br />
The campaign "was intended to be a lighthearted poke at our friends from Cupertino. But it was off the mark, and we've decided to pull it down," the Microsoft rep said.<br />
