I just hate Mary.

Everyone knows Mary, and everyone hates her. If you're particularly unlucky you know multiple Marys. (Marii?)

Where I am from all the Marys are called Yvonne.

And they're all terrible cunts.

Search traffic (Firefox gets money for referring people to Google, and Microsoft has their own search engine);

Commercial support (lots of companies are interested in funding the development of web browsers, for all kinds of reasons);

And ulterior motives (Microsoft uses IE to shill their software platforms, various companies want to encourage standards compliance, Microsoft and Apple don't want any major gaps in their software platform, Google somehow manages to get paid almost every time you view a web page, et cetera, et cetera).

Thanks for that. I guess hoodwinking a few more mums and dads into using MSN would pay for these ads.

Poor old what? Dean Cain is Bruce Campbell's understudy, and we need one, because even Bruce can't live forever.

HERESY!

The Bruce is eternal.

Testicles of Doom
It's funny you mention Bruce, because I was just thinking that Dean must've just accepted his lot in life and is going full Bruce Campbell.

and I approve.

-1 star for reminding me that this ad would be better with Bruce in it.
