Google and Helio: "Get Google Maps In Your Pants!"

    A new radio commercial just caught my ear. It was for the mobile/wireless company Helio, and the slogan was "Get Google Maps In Your Pants!" :eek: :rolleyes:

    I'm not rushing out to sign up, I'm pretty selective about who gets in my pants ;). Does anyone at DP actually think this makes a worthwhile and effective commercial? It's great free advertising for King Goo (unless they paid for part of it). Any thoughts??

    I don't really understand the commercial. It sounds -- well -- stupid.

    Yes, it was.

    The quote I gave was exactly what they said. They are trying to say it's convenient to have Google Maps linked to your Wireless Service.

    I think its convient but not at the top of the list when I am looking for a wireless device or carrier.

    What do you look for? I'm interested in the industry.

    ^^^^^^^
    I should have mentioned this 'Helio' company is burning up big bucks on radio promotion. A popular station in Chicago is 100% commercial free for three hours right now. 'Helio' sponsors the prime time slot, and places an ad at the beginning and end of the three hours.

    I wonder if Google paid for, or even knows about, the get 'Google Maps In Your Pants!' ads??

    ^^I'm pretty sure they know about those ads, no one would risk making an advert using google's name without their permission

    I'll check out Google Earth (I used to try to ignore King Goo), thanks for the tip.
