Ten more hilariously terrible tech adverts


Sega Mega-CD
This advert for the Mega-CD is slightly obscure, although it's not nearly as strange as the PlayStation ad. The idea here is that you're supposed to think a rogue broadcast has hijacked your TV. Don't worry, it hasn't really, it's just an advert for possibly the most ill-conceived and overpriced console add on ever.

Mega-CD added a CD-ROM drive to your Sega Mega Drive, at a bargain basement cost of somewhere in the region of what an Xbox 360 costs these days -- and they say modern games consoles are expensive. It enabled you to play more enhanced games than a cartridge-based system would usually allow.

Whoever wrote this article is stupid. Mariah Carey is phenomenally talented. Her songs are incredible too, particularly the ones from the 90's, and her 300m + sold albums and more no.1s than anyone else in history prove it.
