Bing fast forwards the ads

Here’s a nice ad from the US I just stumbled upon.

It ran about a month ago. Search engine Bing paid for the ads to be run on fast forward during the Daily Show With Jon Stewart. Clever stuff.

I don’t like ads much, but I find when I watch long shows or movies on ABC, I need to go and “water a tree”. Ads are good for letting a guy have a pee, or a tea… Just because they’re there, doesn’t mean we always see them.

Wolfie!

Thats how I see ads every time with IQ. Great concept though from Bing, thought about doing similar to advertise IQ a while back but would be expensive.
