OK, these are pretty funny — if a bit surreal. Mozilla-Europe and the Pozz Agency have created three bizarre and humorous videos to promote the Firefox web browser. Despite a low-key launch, word of the videos has been spreading like crazy and they’ve gotten hundreds of thousands of “hits” so far. You can see a review of the press coverage at Tristan Nitot’s blog.
The Mozilla crew deserves credit both for creating a fast, fun browser and for pushing Microsoft out of its complacency and forcing it to update the aging Internet Explorer. They’ve given a serious wake-up call to lazy web designers and the “Screw web standards, I’m going to write for IE” attitude that was becoming prevalent.
