LG Secret viral ad aims for sexy, ends up squarely at creepy

by Nilay Patel, posted Jun 18th 2008 at 3:28AM

Look, LG, it's all well and good the Secret has a touchscreen and that sweet DivX-capable 5 megapixel camera, but making a viral video that can only be described as early-90s softcore voodoo porn and ends with a sheepish phone call from the dude's mother is probably not the best way to highlight those qualities. Video after the break -- warning, it's just a hair on the NSFW side.

The entire commercial made no sense, not just the end. Yay for stalkers, voyeurs, and general peeping toms!

Nice upskirt. He also touched her boob near the 20 second mark, good stuff.

You're making fun of it, but watch this phone sell thousands of units to sexual preditors and stalkers around the globe. No matter how scantily dressed the woman is, the phone is still a piece of s**t.

They should should have named this the LG Stalker...and rename the LG Voyager to the LG Voyeur..

and i agree with palehorse, that was hot. Engadget should branch out into the softcore porn division as well. Engadget Erotica anyone?
