Burger King's 'OK, Google' ad doesn't seem to be OK with Google

New York

GOOGLE appeared to stymie a marketing stunt on Wednesday by Burger King, which had introduced a television ad intended to prompt voice-activated Google devices to describe its burgers.

A video from a Burger King marketing agency showed the plan in action: "You're watching a 15-second Burger King ad, which is unfortunately not enough time to explain all the fresh ingredients in the Whopper sandwich," the actor in the commercial said. "But I got an idea. OK, Google, what is the Whopper burger?"
