Dear Readers: Advertisers Don’t Get Videogames

Has anyone else seen that commercial, I think it's for some sort of battery, that uses the impossible portable gaming console? The system's molded to resemble a Game Boy Advance, but I wasn't fooled. Too generic looking. Anyway, what a terrible commercial! It makes me wanna take that damn "going and going" bunny and tear its face off in a violent manner. In the ad, a kid and his grandpa (wait, old people don't play video games! ) are playing two of the GBA wannabes when the batteries of the gpa's system die, causing an error screen to crop on on his screen and the young whipper snapper to win the game. That's so dumb! The boy wouldn't win, his screen would just freeze, we all know that. So Energizer or whoever has turned off the entire gamer demographic by airing this commercial, the very demographic you'd assume they'd be trying to reach by airing a commercial featuring video games! Grrr, idiots.

Dear Readers,

Has anyone else seen that commercial, I think it’s for some sort of battery, that uses the impossible portable gaming console?  The system’s molded to resemble a Game Boy Advance, but I wasn’t fooled.  Too generic looking.  Anyway, what a terrible commercial!  It makes me wanna take that damn “going and going” bunny and tear its face off in a violent manner.  In the ad, a kid and his grandpa (wait, old people don’t play video games! ) are playing two of the GBA wannabes when the batteries of the gpa’s system die, causing an error screen to crop on on his screen and the young whipper snapper to win the game.  That’s so dumb!  The boy wouldn’t win, his screen would just freeze, we all know that.  So Energizer or whoever has turned off the entire gamer demographic by airing this commercial, the very demographic you’d assume they’d be trying to reach by airing a commercial featuring video games!  Grrr, idiots.
