Thanks to a stunning lack of foresight on the part of my strata management company, my new apartment penthouse can’t get Foxtel IQ. With no “Live Pause” I find myself reduced to the status of the common or garden peon, and must watch TV as it actually happens. I’m surprised I don’t have to hoist my faeces over the balcony and into the street so the other peons can make it into huts or whatever else it is those people do for fun.
Note to peasants: Manna from heaven doesn't usually have peanuts in it.
Anyway, catheter firmly in place (lest I miss the good bits), I found myself watching Miss Naked Beauty. Having determined that most of them were not very nice to look at (and that there was minimal chance of actual nudity) I was about to change the channel. Unfortunately, someone had placed a tin-foil hat DVD case betwixt the remote and the Foxtel box, causing an interruption to the signal. While I hauled my man flu-ridden carcass into an upright position the ad break kicked in – and who should grace the screen but Brine McFadden and his pretty wife Deltron3000. “But Jeremy!” I hear you cry. “What the dickens were those two buffoons doing upon your television receiver-box?”
Why, ADVERTISING NINTENDO PRODUCTS of course!
Regular readers (Hi mum), will know that I predicted/feared this just a few days ago when I was gearing up for the DSi press launch. (My sub-conscious suspected the two-bit cretins ladies from 4 Ingredients – further proof that Freud’s theories were all beard over substance.)
The image that inexplicably appeared when I googled "Sigmund Freud Beard"
If you’re reading this, Nintendo PR people, I think it would be a totally awesome idea to get Michael Atkinson to advertise Mad World. The chances of you dragging him away from his top secret cache of animal porn securing the services of such a busy and well respected man are slim though – he’s too busy trolling Kotaku.
Could this be a case for CIA Operative #1?

I’m single. Wanna hook up?

You’re not single, Brine, you’re dating that lady that used to be in Neighbours (NOT Natalie Imbruglia, the other one).

Can you plz not be so mean to me all the time? In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve lost weight AND had a haircut.

@Brian, I’m sorry, I couldn’t understand you through your salty gravy tears. I hate it when a grown ham cries. Try again later? Kthx.
@Tracey – I know heaps of single guys. For a small fee I can hook you up with some of them. Just say the word!

I like that Detron and McFatten ad. It makes me think “Hey, I could totally have lots of fun and happy times playing videogames with my boyfriend!” Then I remember I don’t have a boyfriend. Friggin’ Nintendo.
