Flipping the tell-me-what-to-do, Subservient Chicken style viral and turning the television into a sexual object, Philips UK has launched Ambilight, a site voiced by a woman cooing sexually laced phrases while images of a television and a lingerie-clad female are intertwined. The site asks visitors to answer four questions about themselves in a manner so non-threatening that before you know it, you’ve told Philips your age, income, email address and whether or not you live in the UK.
The site was developed to promote Philips’ Cineo flat screen televisions and along with the engaging Q & A, the site enters you in a contest to win one of the new TVs. While some will toss this off as “been there done that,” there’s something about this site, even though it doesn’t invent anything new, that keeps one’s interest. Well, if you’re a guy it does. Perhaps there’s a version for women floating around somewhere too. Nice work.
