Two weeks ago, I attended a
Microsoft event in London to talk about its
progress in search. One of the highlights were these fake, hokey TV ads they
showed us in between breaks. I loved them. They’re especially funny if you know
Britain, but anyone should get a chuckle out of them. Videos are below,
via
Microsoft’s Mel Carson. If
Microsoft were brave, they’d actually get aired.

Video: Live Search 3 – The gossip jockeys

How Live Search can help you find a place to eat and save you from tinned
food killing you off instead during a picnic. "Was that tin labeled potato or
… poison?" and "Having realized they’re just about to die, there’s time for
one last cigarette."
Video: Live Search 6 – A terrible secret!
"I’ve tried, but I keep using the same old lousy search engine." To his
father’s despair.

Video: Live Search 1 – Plucky powered skates
I love the part in this when the narrator explains how this man’s
eco-friendly scooter is powered by "his wife’s disappointment."
