First Fembot Commercial Ever Heralds Imminent Robot Porn Market

Those crazy Japan-addicts from the Pink Tentacle have grabbed the first commercial ever made by a fembot. Actroid DER-2 stars in a 15-second TV ad titled "The Woman Who Doesn't Rust", promoting an insect repellent and sunscreen spray. From afar, she looks hey-babe-how-you-doin' kind of good, but then they have to cut to a close-up and almost gave me a heart attack. Why a fembot needs sunscreen is beyond me. Lube after a few Old Fortrans, on the other side, it's a completely different story. [Pink Tentacle]

Michael Bay, Transformers and Giant Explosions Shill for Verizon FiOS

Verizon's new FiOS ad is a splashy, big-budget popcorn flick compared to Time Warner's cheaper, low-fi satire spot. It even stars the king of big boom summer movies, Michael Bay, blowing a bunch of shit up and hanging out with Transformers, saying the word "awesome" a whole lot. Come to think of it, it's pretty much exactly like his movies, which you can pirate even faster with FiOS. Awesome! [Verizon]

Dumb Wii Commercials Still Not a Patch On PlayStation Home

So, apparently these kids were watching telly at home when some japanese Mulder-and-Scully-wannabes arrive with some white magic wand. Then the whole family gathers around the TV to laugh at grandpa while changing his hairstyle. It's like, oh grandpa, we love you, but you would be so much cooler with an afro wig, man. And then it's like, you know, like everyone is laughing at each other and they can spend hours doing cartoons of other people and stuff. More »

PS3 Commercial Makes More Sense in Japanese


The last PS3 commercial we laid our eyes on gave us nightmares and scarred us for life thanks to a naked Chucky-style baby. This one (which was made for Japan's launch) makes a lot more sense, despite it being in Japanese. It goes straight to the point (11/11) though we still think they need a new ad agency. – Louis Ramirez
