Google launches four short Chrome ads — but maybe shouldn’t have

We’re presumably intended to smile in recognition at the annoyances they portray, but here at 9to5Google we just found them irritating.

Google’s new ad agency, 72andSunny, may well be lamenting the loss of Scott Trattner, the iconic Apple ad man who left this year to return to TBWA/MAL.
