2009.134: What's up with Yahoosoft and Microhoo?
When I listen to Buzz Out Loud these days I hear a mercifully short commercial for Yahoo. I can't figure out what demographic it's aimed at. The music is awful and sounds like a generic 20th century beat. I would have guessed it was a SNL parody, but now I've heard it every day for weeks. The script is so lame there must be a coded message in it, although I do get "Yahoo,... it's You". Maybe there's a hip video part I'm not seeing but this is the worst audio ad I've ever heard in my failry long life of listening to audio. Ok, the Microsoft Windows 7 Party TV ad was way off, too. But what does it mean, these awful ads? Maybe it means that for some reason, both companies are trying to reach an AOL demographic of vanilla, "no bleeding edge for me", sheep-like customer base, perhaps one that just got broadband service in their area. What's next, "Please don't squeeze the Charmin?"
