Destroy Internet Explorer campaign gets tooled up

THE EXPLORER DESTROYER campaign has taken upon itself to promote the destruction of Internet Explorer and promote Firefox instead.

In the UK such actions are illegal, as they could be deemed an incitement to cause harm to a pillar of the community and therefore terrorist in nature.

"Google," says the campaign's online headquarters, "is paying $1 for each new Firefox user you refer. Now you can advance your ideals, save people from popups and spyware hell, and make some serious money."

Organisers of the campaign have produced a software tool that detects Internet Explorer users visting your website. You set this tool to give your users different levels of harassment for using Voleware. These range for a gentle nudge get Firefox to barring IE users from your site.

Those excited about the campaign will have to have a Google ADsense account to earn a dollar from the Web-searchers for those persuaded to see the light.

"For each person you switch, Google gives you $1, Microsoft loses marketshare, and an angel gets its wings," says the site.

Mind you, if your Adsense account never tips the $100 mark you'll never see penny, complains a blogger called Nicholas Carr, here. µ
