Wii Would Like to Play, Indoors, Alone

This new Wii commercial for the game Animal Crossing City Folk with Wii Speak makes me sad, WOW style:



It's the polar opposite of the amazing Dentyne commercials (though I was a little disappointed that such a great commercial was from a gum company). They put out commercials like this and limit you time online to 3 minutes on their site so you can get out there and live:



The Animal Crossing City Folk commercial implies you don't need real friends, just a video game. I do generally applaud Wii for getting people on their feet. The next step: getting them out of the house.

"Let's go watch the fireworks!"

Thoughts?

those commercials make me want to poke my eyes out with a fork and put them in ice water. figuratively speaking...

On the topics of video games, check this out. It makes me laugh and cry at how sad it is. http://video.nytimes.com/video/2008/11/21/magazine/1194833565213/immersion.html

Those girls look pretty old for such a juvenile game.
