Did anyone else see this last night, Saturday 4th June on Channel 4 TV?

I reckon it was about 2 minutes long.

Surprised? You bet I was, not about the subject matter it was featuring just that it took me awhile to realise that it was actually an ad for Chrome.

Have they done that in the USA or is G testing/trying anything these days?

Yeah, saw it on ITV mid-late-evening. Mentioned it on Twitter at the time. Didn't think about mentioning it here.

Certainly very long, and I don't think most people would have got that it was an ad for a browser. YouTube featured prominently as did gMail.

By the timing, I would guess that it was shown in one of the most expensive ad slots of the weekend.
