Ask.com Goes Weird & Creepy With New UK Commercials

The Ask.com Blog announced that they have new commercials rolling out in the UK. They call these commercials the “third stage of the campaign” which is out to promote the Ask.com brand and features.

The commercials show hints of the Information Revolution message and some of their past promotions. I find the new commercials, featuring monkeys and postcards a bit strand and creepy.


Here are some of the commercials, available via YouTube. You make your own decision about them. I am very interested in your comments.
