YouPorn Advertising Fail
We’ve all had that moment of pure, unadulterated fear when trying to show someone a link or video or article on your computer. For the brief second as you open your browser and begin to type into the search bar, you wonder what the last thing you searched for… was it a recipe for great lasagna or was it “fat girl gets drilled on boat”? Will your URL bar deceive you and bring up that time you had a weird wart on your butt? Will your “most visited” pages on Chrome show that you have a Crocs fetish? WHO KNOWS? We’ve all experienced that fear though, which is why you might have expected the advertising video editor for America’s Got Talent to clear his browsing history before showing his own computer screen in a promo.
Not so, as you can see in the video below. Apparently whoever made this 20 second ad failed to realize (or thought it would be hilarious) that he had YouPorn.com, the free porn streaming site, right there smack dab in his recently searched URLs. We imagine the crowd that sits down on a weeknight to tune into a talent competition, though, probably didn’t find it very funny.
