kayak.com ad: discover a place ... before the president starts a war there

[fishwax]

Has anybody seen the new TV commercials for kayak.com? It's a travel site, and they just recently unrolled their first ever off-line advertising campaign. I've caught a couple on TV--the "plan a safe hunting trip" (with dick cheney shooting at the camera and the "explore alaska before the big oil companies do" spots.

I was pretty surprised to see an ad like that on television, but highly entertained.

Here's an article about their ad campaign: http://www.eyefortravel.com/index.asp?news=51714

And you can view the short commercial spots on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc9Fhn9BgWc&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcorp%2Ekayak%2Ecom%2Ftv%2Ftripideas%2Fpresident%2Ehtml

8. i bet they had a lot of fun too

I have fun seeing them on TV, because I never expected to see commercials poking fun at dick cheney's "mishap" or the oil companies greed on television.
