I'm sure by now most people have seen the Direct TV commercials featuring Gregor and his adorable little mini giraffe. Well, I recently came across this website and have a very strong feeling that it is created by Direct TV, similar to how Geico created the site featuring the Caveman's crib.
So according to the website the Sokoblovski family have been the sole breeders of Petite Lap Giraffe in Russia and are the breeders responsible for Ivanka, the PLG star of Direct TV ads. The site also has some little bits of information about these cute little creatures and states, "Petite Lap Giraffes are very funny animal that require special care. They need lots of love. Hugs and kisses every day. Otherwise they make tears."
The website features a webcam so that you can watch the PLG Bull, Vladimir, run around the farm. You can also watch all the Direct TV commercials that feature Ivanka and learn about Petite Lap Giraffes. Best part of the site? Everything is written in broken English just how Gregor speaks in the commercials.
This is a reallly great idea for a site and obviously something that lot of people will find funny and share with friends. I'm 99% sure that Petite Lap Giraffes don't exist but realllly hope someone gets the inspiration from this site to start breeding some. So check it out and when you click the "I want Giraffe" button on the Calves page you can like it on facebook. Its a great strategy to get people talking about the brand and commercials and I'm sure the hit on their commercials on youtube have skyrocketed.
