Seattlest: Seinfeld Canceled by Microsoft:
Valleywag is reporting that the $300 million Microsoft ad campaign featuring Jerry Seinfeld has been canceled as the company seeks other ways to remind consumers that its products, like the characters in the ads, were totally cool in the Nineties, but now, not so much.
Windows was cool? Musta missed that.
You know, the old-fashioned way of winning customer loyalty is by making stuff that doesn’t, you know, suck. $300MM could have bought some of that, I think.
