#6It's painful to watch this. Incredibly tacky, doesn't even represent the "Android" name properly to attack it decently.
Kinda like "Scroogled" too. I've seen it posted by a number of my friends that have no idea it's not about Google Search.

#7This reminds me of the 1993 Chretien attack ad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Chr%C3%A9tien_attack_ad).
Before the conservatives launched the attack ad, they did some research, asking whether the ad invoked negative feelings about Chretien and the Liberals. Almost everyone replied that it did.
What they forgot to ask, however, was whether it invoked even worse feelings for the Conservatives who ran the campaign. It turns out it did.
I hope MSFT knows what they're doing.

We have a saying in Germany:
> People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones
( don't criticize other people when you yourself have faults and weaknesses )

This is also an English expression.

Seems like evidence in support of the relative success of the "Scroogled" campaign then, at least in targeting people dumb enough to post things they don't understand (presumably on the basis of the pun catching their eye...?)
