  2. Hidden Image or Subliminal Ad? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    I love the ad! I especially like the hidden image on the first page (stare at the page long enough with uncrossed eyes and "IE Sucks" will appear in 3D). Was this a clever easter egg or just an attempt at semi-subtle subliminal advertising?

    No. We'll see IE, the leading web browser in the world with 80+ percent of the market.
    Funny, how that used to be 90+ percent of the market.

    I paid for my name to be put in the ad. ... Gives me some free press as well even if I have to point it out to people.

    Don't you mean, gives you some free press, but all you had to do was pay for it? :)
