Jesus, talk about having high standards...
Anyway, the ad was interesting, but as others have stated pretty low brow in its delivery.

Either girls actually made interesting points that would want me to date either.
Or purchase…whatever.
I think if the Wii girl would have listed more activities that represent how to play the Wii then flash to girl sounding all smart about historical knowledge, amazing visuals, and an education only “daddy’s money could buy.” It would could have been better.
Then a line about “Just hold me and can promise you fun.”
“My vibration feature is cancelled.”
Then another Wii comment before the big PS3 emotional explosion. Perhaps: “Just try me once, and I promise you will be hooked.”

I'm not going to share it with strangers because the issues of self-image, sexism, and politically-incorrectness that the clip's humor is based on could easily overpower any real content or enjoyment.
This could easily be an example of an ad you DON'T want to air (which is why the irreverent G4TV made it? not Nintendo). Just think of the black/white PSP ad. *shivers*

You have to remember that this is G4 and we can expect the average G4 viewer to be the same Joe-Madden-6-pack gamer.
I know it's a spoof ad, but all they'll remember after seeing it is that the Wii was attractive and the PS3 wasn't.
Also, Apple is guilty of this as well although not to the same extent, as one of their switch ads had the Mac communicating with a Japanese camera which was represented by an attractive Japanese girl while the PC couldn't speak the same language.
If nothing else, it indicates that Nintendo is receiving fanfare from sources which it didn't previously have to. How often has G4 openly supported Nintendo? I'm sure these are the same writers which mocked the "Lamecube" and now they're comparing Nintendo's next console to a sexy blonde.
Nintendo couldn't hope for much better than that.

Is this a bad thing for Nintendo or a good thing for blondes?

I just seen it as well, and personally I found reading the stupid comments much more fun than watching the advertisement. It wasn't funny nor was it informative, it was well um, lame.

Both?
Like I said, Nintendo SUPPORT from G4 is about as common as their content being anything but trash (which this ad kinda demonstrates).
If the Wii is supported even by the Joe-six pack madden crowd, then it wins, period.
