What kind of lame Shat is this?

Have you seen the new World of Warcraft commercials featuring William “Captain Kirk” Shatner and Mr. “Mr T” T?

No? Have a gander at this:

World of Warcraft has over 9 million subscribers and, according to the recent press release regarding the Activision merger (acquisition?), has over half a Billion dollars in operating capital.

Now I love Captain Kirk as much as the next nerd, and I pity da fool who don’t show Missuh Tee some luv, but what kind of Shat is this? Surely, with a checkbook balance like $520,000,000.00 Blizzard can afford some real star power to represent the most successful subscription-based video game ever created!

Was Tom Hanks busy? He would have made a hell of a shaman. “Me and Blizz-art ahr like peez an care-ots” “Mama said OP warlocks is as OP warlocks does”.

Could you see an ad with Tom Cruise as a Gnome Mage? You’re damn skippy! He is one in Real Life, afterall. Have him in the commercial next to a Night Elf brunette named Katie. Their guild name would be ‘Scientology Rulez’ of course. The camera could pan down slowly from her to film his lines and someone could shout in /yell Stand Up Tom! … /yell Lawlz, he is standing up you nub!

James Gandolfini needs work too, and is more relevant today than Mr. T. He’d be a good Tauren Warrior. “You know, da food in da undercity sucks, but whattya gonna do?, I know! Silvio (Undead Rogue), howzabout yoose stealth over to stormwind and get us some Cannolis from dat Trias guy?” “Take Kristufuh (Troll Hunter) with youse” … Heh , maybe have an undead priest named Adriana, guild name ‘La Cerva’, saunter by casually.

The point is this: Anyone but Hillary! … oops! wrong post … The point is this: WoW is currently the hottest gaming title available and as such warrants some real star power to hawk it. I realize that there isn’t a 30 something alive that doesn’t know who Captain Kirk and Mr. T are, but come on Blizzard, we like Jessica Alba and Meagan Fox a whole lot better!
