Nintendo Pimps with Celebs Too

[bapenguin]

A while back Microsoft took some flak for showing some pics of Paris Hilton with an XBox 360. With the shortages and everything else surrounding the 360 at the time a lot of people were ticked off "real gamers" didn't get their 360 but ol' Paris did. It looks like Nintendo (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/01/25/paris-hilton-shills-for-nintendo-microsoft-flattered/) has joined the ranks of pimping there products with celebrities. And who is the front runner? Well Paris Hilton again. There's a whole gallery (http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=SRH&str=nintendo&styp=&sfld=C&nbc1=1&VwMd=i&sortval=4d&qckv=y) of pics from it at the Sundance Film Festival.

Why doesn't she just drop off the face of the earth?

because where would we be without tarts being famous for just being rich?

[Pnorcio]

Paris sure looks into that game, staring at the camera and all...

[Atorak]

Funny, I can think of a few other reason she's famous...

[Mr.Green]

Because she looks like a $10 whore?

[Everlost_MI]

I think you overpriced her by $9.99.

[Xaerin]

I bet Nick Nolte is gonna be pissed when he finds out he never got the redesign.

[QueQueg]

I'm not sure what the problem is here. A lot of these celeb's looked pretty happy to be there. Where they given free merch? That would make anyone happy (I bet one of Dennis Quaid's kids would love another DS.)

Where they coerced into entering the store, via some arrangment with Nintendo or Motorola? If Paris Hilton came into my place of business, I'd probably take her picture too.

In the olden days, the gods would curse man with like a plague or some insect swarm.

The gods have to stay "with the times" though, and insects swarms are so out of date. Thus, they give us Paris Hilton.

What's up with the image hoster? All I could see were thumbnails and it appeared that they want me to register to see the full sizers. I call bullshit.

[Thin_J]

Why doesn't she just drop off the face of the earth?

I think it's because a lot of stupid people with bad taste in women want to get in her pants.

But I'm just guessing.

[screwtape]

I decided to do some research into this Paris Hilton you speak of. Horrible, shocking, base and immoral videos ... apparently she used to be a fashion model.

No other videos or images of importance could be found.

[MaiXu]

So the DS shortage is over?!

[fitbabits]

Paris Hilton is easily the most glaikit-looking person I've ever had the misfortune to set eyes upon. There really is no excuse for her - none at all.

[thiby]

I'd do her..

[Javi]

Paris or not, it's smart marketing. If someone like Paris has it, and carrying it around and messing with it, then her fans, (and other pop culture fans and whores) are likely to have the same thing.

[51|RandoM]

Because she looks like a $10 whore?

Find a whore that looks like that and only charges $10 and I'll make her an offer she can't refuse.

[thecrazyd]

glaikit
I have learned a new word.

[YoungAlCapone]

I'd do her..

That's what my roommate always says...

...but then again he would have sex with any girl willing to have sex with him.

Use http://www.bugmenot.com. The "free" account still has a limit on how many total thumbnails you can expand, but it still avoids the registration. I use that site all the time.

[danhoo]

I find Paris' static facial expression (http://parisfacial.ytmnd.com/) kinda creepy.

[Morrolan]

She's only in ONE of those pictures. How is she the "main" person they focused on. Jessica Biel has four pictures, as do others.

Nintendo sent out a press release. The only picture in the press release was Paris Hilton.

[automaton]

People who buy a product because they see a celebrity wearing/using it are pathetic. I hope they all step in puke.

I don't care what they eat, wear, or play with. I don't care what their political views are. I just want to see them naked.

[CapnBob]

Yunjin Kim can touch my screen any time she wants.

[Krom]

That's hot.......sorry.

What kind of horrible brain disease must you contract to be a "fan" of Paris Hilton?

Retarditis?

[fitbabits]

I have learned a new word.
glaikit - Adj. Stupid, idiotic, usually describing a look on someone's face. [Scottish use] - pronounced glay-kit.

I just tried it and it worked for me, unfortunately. Bastard. :)

[KarmaGhost]

Interesting box Reggie Fils-Aime is using in this shot to play on the DS:

Hrm, I gotta say what I do find funny is Sean Astin playing on the Bongo Drumbs:

Even complaining about her is letting her rent too much floorspace in your skull.

[ElectricMonk]

I actually like paris hilton. I think she's only semi hot but makes it up with impeccable fashion sense
