Here’s Hoping

Category: Blizzard, WoW

I’m sitting in my in-laws’ living room ‘watching’ the superbowl. In reality I’m working at a side table and turning around to watch the occasional ad. So far I’ve enjoyed the badgers-in-the-car spot, as well as the genetically engineered pigeons. Low grade goes to the retarded GoDaddy.com commercial. It’s gratifying to see that their ads are as sleazy as their business practices.

I should note, as the Consumerist does, that all these ad spots are intended to whip us into a buying frenzy. Fight the impulse, people! No reason to buy cars/beer/URLs/women just because a TV commercial tells you to.

That said, my hope? That Blizzard has purchased one of these spots for World of Warcraft. A new one would be ideal, but I’d settle for Shatner or Mr. T. Go go gadget mainstream MMOGdom!

Update: Bah. Would really have liked that. Next year, Blizzard. Next year.

    What poor business practices have Go Daddy engaged in? I’ve never kept on on the news about them but they give good deals on domains! Have any links to any articles?
