Hey, masochists, I am about the blow your mind with the awesome power of the internet. Check this out: If you download this special version of Internet Explorer 8, you not only receive the web browser, you receive a free, previously unreleased Nickelback track. That's right, you not only receive a fine Microsoft product with which to look at the web, you also can "rock out" to the music of one of the finest bands in rock and roll history.
Either that or you could sit in a parking lot and eat dirt -- your choice.
I asked Attack of the Show comedy guru Casey "Office Jesus" Shreiner about the deal, and he said, "Isn't having to use Internet Explorer enough of a punishment?"
Update: The name of this band is "Nickelback." I apologize to the band and all of their fans for misspelling the name of this fine musical combo in my original post.

Download IE 8, get track by band that you've never heard of.

"finest bands in rock and roll history?" That had to be a joke.
Sorry MS, that's not enough to pull me away from Firefox.

I, too, would rather eat dirt. I hear it is quite nutritious.
Very funny headline and article, Mr. Johnson.

Well then, that makes it even less likely that I'll ever switch back to Internet Explorer. I hate Nickelback more than I can put into words!

That's not the only typo you made.. Are you going to make an update for every single one? And why won't G4 find someone to proofread their news updates, since the majority of them are plagued with typos?

Step 1: Download IE 8.
Step 2: Receive free track.
Step 3: Uninstall IE 8.
Step 4: ??????
Step 5: PROFIT!?!?

WOW, lots of real ungrateful people here. You get free music for downloading a free product. If you do not like IE8 or the band, you are not forced to download either. All the trash is just uncalled for. Let's at least try to act like mature people and not spoiled kids.

I still use IE, because i could care less, but i may finally switch to firefox because i hate Nickelback so much i don't even want the free track.
