For the launch of Internet Explorer 9, we gave everyone a battlefield where they could destroy what they hated most about older versions: waiting time, privacy invasion, and cluttered interface. The Battle for Beauty is a game that simultaneously pitted online players against real-world combatants. During a live event, Toronto civilians threw IE9 balls at ugly critters on a huge screen in order to destroy the ugly side of the Web.
