Pre commercial ranks #4 on most annoying tech ads


[ youtube link ]

There’s no lying about it, advertising can be pretty annoying sometimes. There are times that its so bad that I decide not to buy the product out of principle and spite, because the commercials are that annoying. The folks at Wired agreed, and they’ve found some dooseys amongst the world of technology advertising. There’s catching netbooks with the body’s largest pair of muscles, annoying people singing badly with their computers, an operating system launch party, sock puppets, and serenades to locomotives. And then there’s Palm, coming in at #4, with that commercial that just creeps us the frak out. You know the one... the juggler in the park. Yeah, he was very good. And you’re creeping me out again! Stop!

With the Droid scaring people with Stealth-dropped bombs, it makes us wonder what's better: annoying or scary?

Thanks to Jason for the tip!
