    the one with the family playing in a band? Oh god I can't watch it, it's too embarrassing!!!!

    And what's with that game anyway, do you just stand around shaking your 'wii' in time to the music? :confused:

    Edit: It's this one: http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=LAJrrZq7yKI&feature=related

    Maybe they should do thimgs the old-fashioned way and actually play instruments besides sitting in their living room looking like idiots? Just a thought.

    The actors must be horriby embarassed now.

    Because they did the ad, or because theres a thread on boards about how incredulously horrendous it is?

    Speaking of ad's, the "Gears of War 2" ad, with that Devotchka song in it is amazing. One hell of a marketing genius whoever thought that one up.

    Because if anybody recognises them they will be slagged beyond belief.

    A bit like the frosties kid who was supposed to have committed suicide because he was bullied so much-good story but made up.

    The thoughts of Del Boy's wii has made me not very happy at all.

    I had pictured the likes of Johnny Lee Miller, Russell Brand and that hot bloke from Neighbours all with their wii's out, dancing around the fireplace (not too close mind - *siiiiiinge*).;)

    I'm about to go to bed soon. So to avoid the risk of me not having sweet dreams, could we, perchance, stick to above image?:):p

    The Girls Aloud ones are terrible too, and the press release was so cringeworthy:
    Girls Aloud added: “We all love our Nintendo DS’s, whether racing with Mario Kart on the tour bus or looking after our Nintendogs in the studio at the end of a hectic day, there’s always something to keep us laughing and entertained - the different DS colours mean we never get them mixed up too!”

    It's like they have a hive mind!

    I would have never thought it was possible to feel sympathy for Jamie RedKnapp, until I heard his wife's voice on one of those ads. It's so screechy, I'd have thought only certain dog breeds could hear it.

    I wouldn't give a s***. If I got a couple of grand, I'd do it naked and buy new friends.

    At least the game is a flop. People may finally be realising how bad some of these "games" are..
