alt Hacker NewsWhat exactly was "bad" about these ads? They're eye catching, and it definitely interested me as a reader.
Poor choice of title.

Agreed. I remember those ads, and I kinda liked them. They had personality. The other PC ads were just tech specs - boring.
As an advertiser these are unusual but the clear strategy their marketing team took was to make their ads entertaining enough for people to want to read them.
