That is one of the best product launches I have ever seen! Brilliance!

This is brilliant … although with the product on screen for only about 5 seconds in total – it’s quite a risk. But why not, it’s a great ad.

Sorry, man. It's been viral for a while now. Gizmodo had a little write-up about the Bodygroom. You quite possibly missed it because you had trimmed your RSS feeds. Yeah, pun intended. (Editor's Note: Thanks, but I'm pretty sure this is fairly new. The link you used above goes to another mini site of theirs which isn't half as good.)

Oh my god, did they really rhyme modem with scrotum? I’d be laughing if I didn’t suddenly have too much info about your nether regions Mike.

This is some fantastic viral work on their behalf. I came across it earlier today, spend a pack of time on the site, and have forwarded it on to at least half-a-dozen friends. My hat off to everyone behind it!

Another example of a Flash based campaign that I saw and really liked is for this paper type called Magnecote, the world’s most attractive paper.

Not as diverse or as deep as the Norelco one, but I still found it amusing.

This also explains why they had no problem doing the “tea-bag” stunt on Howard Stern earlier in the week.

It certainly does take [picture of balls] to do this type of promo. well done.

All that money and time, and they still couldn’t manage a “background-color: #fff” in their CSS? Does anyone test with non-default settings anymore?

I had that forwarded to me yesterday and I did find it quite amusing. I’ll be interested if any of Norelco’s competitors come out with any similiar.
