I have no idea what singing rubber ducks have to do with search engines, but I assume this feel-good fun stuff makes sense in India where Reditt.com just relaunched their search engine, which happens to be the most popular one in the land.

Hey, listen up Shack. Just because you have a cool new nickname doesn't mean you'll get a pass for failing geography. You're talking about "the population of Scandinavia" while playing the Swedish bands Discocrew super annoying summer hit Husvagn, yet you show off alps and people (well, phones) in traditional alpine dress, playing alphorn. That's Switzerland, fool.

(The Swiss/Swedish confusion happens so often in the states, methinks they're doing it as a long standing joke.)

Take one part "Single men", and one part "Where the heck is Matt", wave your hands in the air like you just don't care and shake it all about - presto, out comes a commercial for Vodacom. Nice touch with the silver and gold street statue guys, by the way.

Bad cell networks have serious side effects. Hang on, didn't I just post a radio ad mocking the "Hello? Hello?" issue? Yes I did, all the way from Ghana no less. Funny. Everyone knows this problem around the world then.

Aaaaah, I see the strategy here, KGB are targeting the elusive young daft slacker-male with disposable income and a juvenile sense of humor. That's a good market. Top dollar there. Everyone else knows how to google.
