Pontiac Commerical "Google Us"

[corywoolf]

I was just watching Deadliest Catch and I saw this new Pontiac commercial. Apparently the new "cool" thing for corporations to do is say "Google us for more info." This was no local commercial either, I am sort of shocked that they wont even give "pontiac.com" out anymore, just "Google Us" and they show a screen shot of Google! Well at least it was something different and attention grabbing. 🙄

It's probably cause most people can't spell "Pontiac".

Yeah, that ad has been out for a while...it almost looks like an ad for Google. I wonder if they did put up a few bucks for it...

I usually will Google a brand name before typing it in the address bar thesedays, as you never know what the exact URL might be. Google saves time!

I saw that and I was like "woah, Google It" hmm.
I never Googled it... 😛.

Of course, if they can't spell Pontiac, how are they going to Google it ? 🙄

Seems lazy to me. Maybe they're anticipating a domain name change and want the ad to last awhile.

True enough, thus the 🙄 . I guess it came across as *wondering* rather than *whatever*.

I noticed that too. Possibly a trend, maybe to attract younger buyers?

I just typed "Pontyack" into Google and it came up, "Did you mean Pontiac?"
