Alex: In what year did Google take over the Internet?
Hehehe. You have to give credit where it is due. Instead of advertising on TV, why not strike a deal with one of America's favorite icons, Alex Trebec. Alex hosts one of the longest running game shows on US Television.
Keep a close eye on your TV. Ever notice a brand name appear when your watching a movie? Believe it or not, that brand has paid for that exposure. I'm going to guess that Google is doing quite a bit of this and coming at TV advertising from a reverse angle. There's a lot of this that isn't reported.
Smart move Google. Get into the hearts and minds of the public through a back door. ;)
