Video of people passing out Bing stickers in front of a Google office?

Perhaps if there was audio of the Googlers' responses, this might be interesting, but otherwise this is just a (fairly boring) commercial for Bing.

Am I the only one who thinks it was quite funny?

What does MS/Bing think it is, some hip cool new startup trying to be all yuppie and exciting?

Watching this video is like watching a dead horse beat it self up.

It's can be a good PR tactic though - polarize and conquer. Ask.com tried a similar approach when they rebranded, replete with guerilla marketing campaigns like this and fake graffiti. The problem is that Google's quite hard to hate....

It seems like they didn't get any decent sound bites so they went for the silent movie look. There KDE/Win7 film wasn't bad but this was very boring.
