The good mozilla vs ugly IE browser campaign

I remember once I walked to the auto street market in pink city of India for buying a helmet. Many shopkeeper were trying to pull me in, and few of them were shouting “we have got the cheapest – we have got the best” – well cheap may not be the best always. I am sure they were wasting their energy to attract someone who is looking for a helmet which can surely save their head when needed, but not break with it 
.
By now many of us may have already seen this new Microsoft Australia campaign. No offense but I thought it is a cheap way of advertising a web browser. For instance if I am looking for the fast, advanced, and bug free browser then I will surely not give a shot to something which just tries to attract people with such tactic.
I am believable that people spread the news about good things by themselves to rest of the community. The Firefox crop circle made by Oregon State University students is a proof of concept.
