Kevin Bacon stalks himself in Logitech spot
The Logitech Revue set-top box with Google TV is ideal for creepazoid celebrity superfans, like the one in this ad (by Goodby, Silverstein & Partners), who's obsessed with Kevin Bacon and wants to find movies and YouTube videos of him with a few clicks of the remote. Not that Ivan here needs the help, since he's actually Kevin Bacon. This may be one of those situations where the ad is 10 times better than the product (many of my techie friends aren't so impressed with Logitech), and I'm glad they didn't work in a "Thank you sir, may I have another?" reference. Though a spike through the neck would've made a decent ending.
