Defenders in tights

What?

The first advert that I’ve seen for Google’s browser, Chrome is entitled Defenders in Tights. Previously, we’ve seen little nudges suggesting that people might want to try a new browser at the top of YouTube, but they’re hardly convincing now are they.

While this video in my opinion will still only get the geeks – at least a bit of time, thought and money has gone into producing what I consider to be quite a cool ad. And heroes in tights are always entertaining.

Lights, camera, action!

Have I been thick?

Have there been previous ads for Chrome that I’ve missed out on? Is this a series of ads? What’s the best/worst ad that you’ve seen? Psst… feel free to slate the desperate Microsoft IE8 ads that are going around at the moment (Ten grand is buried here, the O.M.G.I.G.P. ad (which got pulled) or the Browser for the better campaign to guilt trip people into downloading it).
