Kobe, Jimmy Kimmel Go To War In New Black Ops Commercial
As the media blitz for Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops intensifies, the company's social media maestro Dan Amrich has posted a cool new live action commercial for the game on his One of Swords blog. The clip, which uses the Rolling Stones' classic "Gimme Shelter", shows a variety of regular Joes and Joannas living out their military fantasies. To boot, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel get in on the fragging. Watch closely, as Kobe's gun has "Mamba" written on it, a reference to his nickname "Black Mamba". While it's just marketing jive, this is actually a pretty cool clip.
