Wii Marketing - DMiller - 28th November 2006
Before the Wii was released we complained about the lack of commercials, but I have to give Nintendo credit now because I am seeing the Wii everywhere. If you watch Comedy Central at all you saw their Wii promotion pimped during Thanksgiving, and last night Stephen Colbert playing Wii Sports creating a Mii of himself to box against a Mii of Nancy Pelosi. I've seen commercials for plenty of games, although no Zelda commercials surprisingly, and I've seen the creepy Japanese guys commercial a few times. The Wii also seems to be getting a lot of play in the mainstream press. I'd even dare say I've seen more Wii commercials than PS3 commercials. Is this anyone else's impression, or am I just living in a fantasy world?

I, admittedly, don't watch a lot of the "teevee's" you kids are so crazy about. Although I did happen to see the Comedy Central Thanksgiving Wii-kend promotion (they were showing Scrubs).
It truly brings a tear to my eye to see a Nintendo system embraced so much by the mainstream. Let's hope this trend continues after the Wii is no longer considered the "hot new toy" and is simply what it is, one of three gaming systems.

It's not being "embraced" so much as "advertised". Remember the budget Nintendo announced for their campaign? This is that.
By the way, a lot of news shows are not above being paid to advertise a product in the guise of giving a "special report". It's basically an infomercial.

I have yet to see a Nintendo Wii commercial, which means they didn't advertise during thanksgiving football, or during random college football. Wow, come to think of it that's all the TV I've watched the past couple of weeks... Scary

Oh, DJ, you and your crazy, mixed-up web-browsers.
Wii Marketing - Dark Jaguar - 28th November 2006
I'm actually mucking about in Firefox right now, and there's not a thing to be seen. If I weren't lazy I'd check it out in IE, but I am lazy... don't get me started... seriously don't because that would be work.

I've tried it in Mozilla-Firefox and Internet Explorer. It works in both.

It's displaying now, but a little earlier there was nothing there.
Wii Marketing - EdenMaster - 28th November 2006
Conversely, earlier it was there and now it isn't.
Perhaps it's a YouTube problem.

Hahahaha take that, Nancy Pelosi!
What ever happened to Tom Daschle?
And on a similar note, why am I awake?? It's 1AM!!
edit: And, additionally, post script, it is too working. Maybe you're not running the latest firefox
