Comments on: Photo: A pitch for Firefox security

Mozilla balked on condom-themed ad for browser, but volunteers argue it emphasizes the software's security.

always?

rather tacky. "always use protection"? does that include protecting yourself from having a family - you know, the most important creation of God?

Huh

God does not exist. He is the atificial crutch for moral cowards, who can not make judgments for themselves.

This is precisely why...

Your comment illustrates precisely why they passed on this ad. While the majority of people think it's clever and a bit funny, some people actually think that using the type of protection shown in the ad is immoral, and the reference to it in the ad is offensive to them. Personally, I think those people need to lighten up, but I also think it's not a good idea to deliberately offend people.

And while I don't agree with you, I also have to say a HUGE shame on the first person who replied to you. Needlessly antagonizing people with whom you disagree with is just plain idiocy. I'm not sorry for him, I'm embarrassed that some athiests and agnostics can't practice the same tolerance and understanding that we keep trying to convince people of various religions to embrace. Why he thought this was an appropriate forum for this kind of irrelevant and personal attack is beyond me.

Hmm

Hmm when this advert was released on spreadfirefox no-one else managed to come up with such a misguided opinion. I think you are missing the point.

I think it a great ad!

I think this ad is great! It's fun and gets the point across. Lighten up a bit and laugh. It's better then all the same old stuff you see on commercials and ad's which reflects Firefox in my opinion; new, different, fun and safer.

No I'm sorry

I'm sorry that your closed-minded, ultra-conservative brain can't handle someone having a different belief than you and you feel the need to press your religion upon every aspect of the world, including a humorous internet ad.

I have a much better idea here

Instead of using the overused sex icon of a condom for protection. How about
a picture of a group of mafia guys with their arms folded or holding oozies
Title it:For protection like this you used to pay through the nose. Now their is firefox!
