[Lemur]

Here's the article (http://crave.cnet.co.uk/0,39029477,49292857,00.htm), but I'll save you a lot of click-throughs and post the winners below. Some are very, very funny.

Just saw the MS DOS 5 promo video for now and I think I'll try to upgrade my Vista to that, awesome!:2thumbsup:

These adverts are awesome - you can never hope to be as kicking rad as they are.

Oh how i love the early nineties/late eighties.

These terrible adverts reminded me of this equally awful one - not tech related, but still a good larf.

:wall:
Some of those ads are so painful.
Yet I do agree that it is so stupid how they put the anti-piracy adverts on dvds that have been brought legally, it's extremely annoying.

[Fragony]

Having to watch that over and over again along with all the other warnings when you are a good boy and always buy your DVD's, yup, VERY annoying.
