We talked about how motarded I felt the Wii Fit girl video was earlier. While checking out more YouTube videos I discovered the following gem. It’s also a goofy video, but it’s actually funny. To be a great YouTube video, something needs to be either funny, weird or a display of superior skill. This guy has no skill, but the video is certainly funny.
Most of us noticed the “Why every guy should buy their girlfriend Wii Fit” video on the front page of Digg.com yesterday. It turns out that the supposedly home-made video was more than likely something that came from the Tinsley Advertising Company. The sleuths over at Shoemoney discovered that the video was probably part of a Nintendo viral marketing campaign. I’m sure the video still would have been popular had this been known, but it is a shady form of marketing.
The actual video is currently well over 8,000 Diggs and will probably reach 9,000 before the day is over. If we’ve learned anything from this, it’s the fact that viral YouTube marketing strategies are still extremely effective and powerful.
Now that I’ve dated every possible girl in GTA IV, I have made my pick for “top girlfriend”. It wasn’t really a hard choice, considering there’s some real negative aspects to most of the women you will date in the game. If you haven’t gotten deep into the game, keep in mind that some of the following information may spoil the story for you.
