Trying to prove that smart is sexy, and spending a hell of a lot of money in the process, Nintendo Europe has hired Oscar-winning Australian actress Nicole Kidman to be a spokeswoman for Nintendo's line of Brain Training games. The superstar will be appearing in both print and television ads across Europe starting today. She was quoted as saying "I love the concept that Nintendo is reaching out to new audiences with their self improvement products like Brain Training. Most importantly, I’ve quickly found that training my brain is a great way to keep my mind young." Specifically, Kidman will be promoting the second brain training game to hit Europe, More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old is Your Brain?, which is set to release in the UK this coming Friday?

Umm... I don't know, you tell me?
Either way, maybe they're using the Japanese ads (which used a widely respected Japanese actress) as a basis for these.

When is the next "Adopt-a-Newbie" week? Because I think you and I could definitely drive the evil women back to their home on Whore Island.

And I think calling the game "More Brain Training" is kind of dumb. Never name a game something that someone accusing you of rehashing could respond to by merely saying the name as a question. More Brain Training? Ninja Warriors Again? It's like the first sentence in a rant.

Actually that is one of the smart things that she did, for her career. The even smarter thing that she did was "bail out" before the Cruise missle blew up, it took Katie Holmes down down with it instead.
:hats off, moment of silence:
She could've had a bright career ahead of her.
