Comments on: Yahoo!’s ‘Anthem’ Ad is Simply Exceptional http://www.oddlytogether.com/2009/09/yahoos-anthem-ad-is-simply-exceptional/ Things That Just Fit Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:54:21 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Coup http://www.oddlytogether.com/2009/09/yahoos-anthem-ad-is-simply-exceptional/comment-page-1/#comment-907 Coup Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:58:00 +0000 http://www.joewilcox.com/?p=3892#comment-907 Otto, you need a sarcasm detector transplant. Far more expensive to produce than the Gates-Seinfeld ads but equally pointless. Hey Yahoo, it's not that nobody knows you exist, it's that your suite of lame me-too tools jumped the shark years ago, every attempt to 'refresh' them shoves more ads down our throats with ever-decreasing functionality...and this vacuous "we are world" shit just reinforces the impression that you're all clueless in there....

That ad was simply terrible. It tells me nothing about how using their services will make my life any easier or better. It gives no comparisons, it gives no knowledge. It's nothing more than brand-awareness building, and I already know about Yahoo. What I know about them tells me that they have nothing to offer me, and haven't had anything worth a damn in at least 6 years. So no, I will not be joining Yahoo's global village. Not until they build some actual roofs in that village, to keep the rain off the heads of the citizens. I couldn’t disagree more. That ad was simply terrible.
