I love that they have a happy queer couple (all dressed up... for their wedding?)/

Aww, so sweet!

I am genuinely overjoyed that they included a gay couple, but...

In the animation’s sweet story, a boy seeks the best way to show his affection for a girl adept at skipping rope and rebuffing amorous advances. The lad taps Google in his quest to woo her, but his online searches for flowers and chocolates and colorful balloons - all the ol’ trite-and-true go-to gifts for Valentine’s Day - prove fruitless in real time. The girl is unmoved.

idk, man, really? Will storytellers never tire of the Boy Cannot Respect Girl's Boundaries And Back The Fuck Off Already, But It Is Actually Super Romantic Because When She Repeatedly Said No She Actually Meant Yes trope?

Remember when they had an ad like this for Google+?

O_o That actually managed to be even worse than I was expecting.

Oh good, it WASN'T just me that saw that. I was like, ffs, let her jump rope!

Also the lyrics were weird. "Her doubtful mind." Dude, she's not doubting anything. She is jumping rope. Also women aren't obligated to change our minds.
