Google just put out a video to promote their new voice-activated search that automatically gives results near your location. The video starts off with a guy saying "pizza" to his phone, and finding all the pizza places near him. Then the scene changes to a bustling Chinatown, and the same guy searches for pizza again. Then he's in a Bavarian-looking village: "pizza!"

You get the idea. The schtick gets old after 4 or 5 scene changes, but it goes on for 10 strange minutes. Don't believe me? Skip anywhere in the video. You're only going to hear "pizza."

Despite its weirdness -- or maybe because of it -- the Google pizza ad has taken off as a viral hit.
