The lights are on
Game Informer's editor-in-chief, Andy McNamara, will be the first person to tell you, "there's something seriously wrong with Reiner." Evidence (like this blog) may prove him right. The topic at hand: I laugh myself silly when I look at staged marketing photos of people playing the Wii. These images are so far removed from reality that I can't help wonder what demographic they are trying to attract. I wouldn't let any of these people into my house, let alone share a couch with them! In an effort to amuse myself (and perhaps you), I've complied a collection of all of the Wii marketing photos I could find on the Game Informer computers. Enjoy!

lol, marketing
ROFLCOPTER
This embarrasses and confuses men.
This was just genius. LOVE it.
I was snickering so bad, my little siblings were wondering if I was choking, and I don't have the attitude to trash their favorite system either, so... X-D
Lol, you guys look hilarious.
And you couldn't be more right, the marketing is nothing and I mean NOTHING like they advertise it as.
Very funny and nice blog.
Wow. Terrible.
Terrible sums it up perfectly. I have no idea who plays like this.
The people playing Wii Music are the most ridiculous. The only people who hold the remote like an instrument are children who are still trying to understand the concept of instruments.
you guys have never truly lived
Taken moments after a random assailant capped Joe's knee with a crowbar.
Sometimes you have to let the ladies play like that if you want them to play with your Wii the next time she's over ;)
Who's in the back room by the arcade getting stole out of their lunch ticket?
@ghostpig - That's Kane and Lynch.
Ginger in the second picture is scary...
Woah WHAT!??! is the guy in the 5th pic wearing a pearl necklace?!?! look closely his hand covers up half of it.
WEEGEE, don't say "ginger" unless you are British. If you are, fine. If not, please don't talk like those savages.
Oooooh.
im just referring to the red head as a ginger. hmm didn't know that that was a British word.
I literally laughed out loud when I saw the staff photo you slipped in there.
People at work are staring at me now. Cover blown.
