Ask.com Desperation is a stinky cologne

This is funny. Not only becausde I am a google fan, but basically the Ask.com search engine sucks. Half the time I don't see the heavily bragged about preview link that allows you to see the page before going to it. Ask.com could not hold Google's jock strap in the Search/Inforamtion market. And the new commercial from Ask.com shows how stinky desperation can be. The commercial has a kid who is barley old enough to know what a computer is, was trying to tell me how Ask.com is better than google.com. Trying to say that because it is popular does not mean it is better. Uh well yes it does. Popularity can only suggest that it is better, cause there is a reason why everybody uses them. And he used an example of a search, Poets. He said google would probably just show a bunch of things about Poets if you try and search for a paticular poet. WHAT? I did a search on Google.com for edgar allen poe and got all kind of info for Edgar Allen Poe. Plus it sectioned off for Poems or Biography. Bottom line shows bad taste for a commercial to mention the name of their competitor in their commercial, instead of making a general reference. Desperation is a stinky cologne.
