  1. Weee IMO was the best... by gregbains · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...Only because it is the only one I ever saw, based on viral ability alone it wins

  2. Wonder who's paying the bills for bandwidth by ziplux · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Mozilla presumably needs all the funding they can get. Where are they getting the money to pay for a site like this?

  3. by far the funniest and most clever (IMO) by yagu · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Wheee! Almost peed my pants. Played it over and over, this is funny on many levels, reminds me of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, where little kids laughed, but there is an adult element that is hilarious.

    As far as being effective for general advertising, I'm not sure... It may succeed on the level of getting people talking about it, "Do you GET that new Firefox commercial", or not. It's a bit of a wink and a nod to the tech demographic (taunting especially Microsoft and Netscape).

    If I were making a SAFE choice for mass consumption, I'd probably go with the "Give me the Soap". Simple, mass appeal, cute, cuddly, with a clearly stated message. If I had some extra money, I'd produce and run both. If I had money to burn, I'd definitely do the Wheeee! just for fun.

    Good job to all winners.
