As if you accidentally type in "goggle" (I think this only affects Internet Explorer), bad things can happen
Bad things, such as

I did it on internet explorer. Nothing happened. That video is just an ad I think for the program at the end of the video.

It is an ad, nothing more. But a pretty surreal one. Kinda reminds me of when Strongbad got that e-mail virus.

Of course, you could just bookmark

This is why Opera and avast work miracles. IE kills kittens. Save the kitties, get Opera or Firefox.
