In the video, Eric Schmidt is caricatured as a creepy ice cream salesman who offers free Google ice cream in exchange for a full body scan. It was funded by ConsumerWatchdog and aired on a jumbotron in Times Square.

The video was made to raise awareness of Google’s privacy issues and I guess it sorta succeeded given Google’s promise to clear things up. All I know is I’d love to watch a cartoon starring this Evil Genius Eric Schmidt as the bad guy. [Inside Google via Wired]
