I saw this commercial last night while watching Monday Night Football. I don’t get it. I guess it’s to promote the NFL football video game Madden 09. The only problem is that the last thing I feel like doing after watching this commercial is to play Madden 09.
I want to take the person featured in this commercial (code name “Secret”) and beat him over the head with his own shoe.
This guy has got to be the most obnoxious punk I think I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen quite a few obnoxious punks in my lifetime. He is supposedly the world’s best Madden player. This guy. This guy who appears to be humping the ground. This guy that looks like he is wearing his dad’s red jersey. This guy that makes weird faces at his opponent.
Why would anyone from either Sony (Playstation 3) or EA Sports (Madden 09) want this spot to air on the TV to promote their products?
I read an article in the LA Times that since Nintendo can’t make enough Wii game consoles to satisfy consumer demand, they will do the next best thing - they will begin selling rain checks. They are calling them “Wii Certificates”. Nintendo hopes to squash criticism and stop prospective customers from defecting over to one of the rival game systems.
We’ve been thinking about getting a Wii. They look like a lot of fun and they don’t cost nearly as much as Sony’s Playstation 3 or Microsoft’s XBox 360. Plus with a Wii, it only comes one way. The XBox 360 and the Playstation 3 both come in different models and editions. It’s confusing. I’ve never really understood the difference between the different versions. For instance, the XBox 360 comes in a special Halo 3 edition except it doesn’t even come with the Halo 3 game.
The Wii only comes one way.
I’ve looked for them every time I go to a retail store that sells them. Though I always see enough Playstation 3 and XBox 360 consoles to choke a goat, I’ve never seen a Wii. They’ve been out a year now and I still haven’t seen one for sale.
