UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
It's all very well that TV commercials have thus far featured women playing Tetris and Animal Crossing and Nintendogs and stuff like that. However, the suggestion (proffered in the New Super Mario Brothers TV commercial) that birds play proper games where you have to not fall off stuff is TOO MUCH.

"Oh my god! There's a little man in there! How does he breathe? Oh wait, that must be what the holes are for."

This is the bit where she's actually shaking the DS up and down and shouting "JUMP! JUMP!" at it. If we'd made this up as a parody, people would have called US sexist.

Silver and gold medals go to A) The face she makes when she sees Mario eat a mushroom and grow big, and B) The face (shown above) she makes when Mario dies respectively, with the latter setting a new world record. "Wow! When I ran into that turtle it played a pretty tune! I wonder if I could get it to do it again?"

Bonus points for referring to women as "birds".

you leave nanako the hell alone you gits!

if it wasn't for her i wouldn't even have thought of buying a ds lite...

These ads are more than unrealistic, they're almost cruel. They nurture false hope that there's some cute model out there dying to play with your... DS.
Blogger bilal said...
no, she's playing HER OWN ds.

or at least, she's playing her own nintendo-supplied ds.

point is it's not yours, and that's what matters

On a different note, do you all remember the Play.com chocolate orange incident? Well, they've done it again! It's the Pro Evolution 6 telephone box!

this update was actually pretty funny
Blogger bilal said...
sorry trekker didn't mean to get you all depressed :(

i guess there's always girls of CS...
Talking of not particuarly funny updates, what the FUCK is that "US:Resistance" site!?
I hope that's not endorsed in anyway by these 'boys'? Reading posts on there is the equivalent to having an incredibly painful shit.

You'd think that site would at least bother creating a new identity for itself, instead of being a lame ripoff. You know it's bad when you think you have to specify that you're NOT what you're ripping off in the site title.
Blogger Tomleecee said...
It's true! US:Resistance ACTUALLY EXISTS!!!! And it's as bad as one would expect. Oh, the irony.

Zorg - we demand you do a post about US:Resistance!

Jesus that site sucks. You guys really do need to write an update on them.
Im glad you agree. The person writing that site is actually wasting there life..
Registered to a Benjamin.. how strange the first person to reply to my rant about US:Resistance was a guy called Benjamin from the US..
Anyway, there isnt any particuarly new updates on there so hopefully they've given up.
Blogger Benjamin said...
Hey now! I take offense to being associated with that. Didn't know WHOISing sites to make sure you don't share a common first name was a prerequisite for posting. :p
Blogger Roddie said...
where can i watch this advert??
Blogger Ensign_Teela said...
Search Youtube.

Not shown: The spotty American kid that got to play it a week before her.
Sorry Benji, i mean no harm.

us resistance, I have been aware of it for a while.
what never ceases to amaze me is the extent they have gone to copy this site, same link headings everything.
it almost makes you question whether the yanks really did :-
discover North America
fight agaist the english, whilst painted in wode
shag a posh english bird on a sinking ship
capture the enigma machine
fly to the moon etc
or did the just copy someoneelse's idea?

Actually, her expression in that last pic looks like it's all about to go a bit Bukkake.

FACT! I learned that this commercial is true! I was in a Japanese train station yesterday and witnessed a 20-something year old Japanese woman pull out a DS lite and play New Super Mario Bros. ok.. she wasn't as cute... and she was, in no way, expressive. But, in the wild, "they" actually play the game.
