Microsoft To Announce Jerry Seinfeld Ads Cancelled

Posted by samzenpus on from the put-it-to-bed dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Valleywag says the Jerry Seinfeld ads are over — In a phone call, Frank Shaw confirms that Microsoft is not going on with Seinfeld, and echoes his underlings' spin that the move was planned. There is the 'potential to do other things' with Seinfeld, which Shaw says is still 'possible.' He adds: 'People would have been happier if everyone loved the ads, but this was not unexpected.'"

    I don't think SP1 would have fixed anything, but by SP2 it probably would have been a pretty good commercial. Of course it probably would have taken an hour long infomercial which most people skipped.
