Isn't it obvious? They are all wearing makeup, the photos are perfectly lit and focused, and all the ethnicities and age groups are covered.

"I can't believe I put up with my kids"
"I hate my life"
"I think I just got my first period"
"Wuh-oh! My colon's acting up again"
"I want a divorce"
"My kid's an idiot"
By the way, this pic is by far the best:
"Where's Lifetime?"

Kids come home from school, and Mom is looking a little disheveled, and slightly out of breath. "Oh, hey kids ... why don't you run up stairs and do your homework, huh?" "But we wanted to play Nintendo!" "Not now, do your homework first." "Mom? What were you doing when we got home?" "Me? Oh nothing, just ... playing with the Wii. Oh, and wash your hands before you come down. You kids are getting these controllers all ... sticky."
And ... scene.

The people in these shots look far too attractive and successful to have time to be playing games. Surely their free time is already eaten up by clothes shopping, working out, jogging, attending social gatherings with co-workers, chatting on their cel, eating sushi, driving an SUV, watching reality TV and drinking speciality coffee. Except for the old man of course. He drinks tea.

Considering he's just a doofus model/actor who probably never plays games I'd say it's more likely he's just screwing up. It reminds me of a Future Shop ad where it shows a guy "playing" a PS2, with his thumbs not resting on the pad, rapidly tapping the four trigger buttons with his index and middle fingers while making "excited" facial expressions. Even my parents immediately noted how fake it looked and they've played maybe an hour's worth total of videogames between the two of them.

Are we referring to the "pointer feature" as something different from tilt/motion sensing? 'Cause I'm sure Excite Truck, and any other racing game, particularly when using the steering wheel attachment, can't keep facing the screen.
Hey, I'm just saying. It is still most likely that he's screwing up. But how about the flash reflection? Isn't that possible? The flash does look pretty bright in that picture. Or is the black part not reflective? Maybe it's not; it's fairly black, in fact, it almost looks like it's drawn in on some of the other pictures.
Nintendo should then take the picture in question and drawn in a black area if they're going to keep using it. And/or find models that know what they're doing, but don't you think he would've seen what the other three are doing? Strange.

Quotesince the girl next to him is pointing to almost the same place as he is (obviously, from our relative perspective....which probably is the same as the flash's) and IR is completely visible, it isn't the reflection (besides, if it were, we would've seen the reflected flash including lens flare and blah)
