Yahoo will soon be out of business with this kind of crap
No call to action.
No benefit.
No feature.
No web address.
No response mechanism.
No sense whatsoever.
Who are the biggest idiots here? The “creative” agency that dreamed this shit up, or the Yahoo! employee that commissioned it?

hello. I think it was on this big board used the trademark and branding, plus this is in fact not only advertising Yahoo!

I’m with Mark or so far out of the target market that I’m incapable of getting it. It says absolutely nothing to me. If it’s not only advertising Yahoo! what else is it advertising … … space invaders?

Sometimes a very sutble advertising approach can be effective if it is, for example, funny enough to be remembered. Having said that the design of this advert is pretty poor and I’m inclined to agree that it’s money down the drain as far as Yahoo! is concerned.

Mark,
Everything you said… and the models are ugly.
D’you think Yahoo cut their marketing budget…
… or the advertising company kept it all?

I think the only ones who will make any money out of this campaign are the agency and the media providers.

Great curiousity arousing/benefit headline…NOT!
Wonder how much the agency bills Yahoo
for that crap.

Thanks for providing great content on this
your site Mark. It’s very generous of you to
share your expertise.

I’ve read the whole campaign is $100m!
When I think of all the websites I could build for that….

Not really expertise, just my opinion. A right one, but still just an opinion :-)

Aye! I agree.
It’s nothing but waste much money.

“$100m!?”
Tell me that’s a mistake… please.
Imagine all the Spider Man comics I could get with that.
