I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Robblink beat Metafilter and BoingBoing to it. :)
It doesn't look like either noticed it's an ad...
*Moahhaha* I gotta share this guys. :)
Over here at MaxiMac it's creator asked for the images above - and has made a nice before-and-after gif animaton of the twins. The really funny bit is his description of the Microsoft campaign though, he writes:
"It was fascinating to me, as if I was watching someone lock, load and them aim carefully, only to shoot themselves in their foot with absolute certainty."
Showing people on death-beds for this? C'mon... are you serious?
Yeah really, that sort of imagary is reserved for selling knitted sweaters, obviously! ;)
btw, I recall a shortlisted (?) D&AD ad 93/94 where this was used as the image, and the line read "the only pullover this image should be used to sell" under a picture of a condom. Bo-yah! I dug that.
