In 2005, a NetZero Ad took a stab at (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20041123/1211200_F.shtml) AOL by recreating their advertisement, only saying that all their customers are moving over to NetZero.

Today I saw a very funny NetScape commercial of a girl crying, saying she hates netzero because they charge her everytime she calls customer service. It immediately occured to me that NetScape is owned by AOL, and they're avenging their parent company.

I tried looking for the commercial online, but I couldn't find it.
Anyone else seen this commercial? What do you think? Is this the beginning of a campaign bashing war?

I've seen that commercial several times. I was on vacation at home the past week, and tended to catch it during daytime TV, rather than in the evening.

They sounded like fighting words to me.

Yup. If any of you want to catch it, you can usually find it on the Discovery Times channel.
