In what’s got to be the most amusing celebrity tech endorsement of the season so far, Dolly Parton has gone on YouTube endorsing Microsoft’s IE8. It’s got this great webslices feature, you see. “You’ve got to have Internet Explorer 8 to use webslices,” she says, “shoot, I didn’t even know there was a 1 through 7.”
It’s an awfully charming video by one of the greatest musicians of all time. This 63-year old mega-millionaire is downright folksy when talking about web browsers.
Hey Dolly, if you like IE8 – you should let Google’s Chrome sweep you off your feet! Not a lot of features, but it’s super fast for a fast-thinking woman like you. Is it customization you’re looking for? We know you’ve seen a whole lot of things all around the world – but have you seen Firefox yet?
Dolly Parton? How are you going to top that, Mozilla?
Thanks to James Governor for finding the above video.
