Here’s a weird ad in which Japanese businessmen travel around what looks like the MidWest to share Nintendo Wii with families, transients and college students. “Wii … would like to play,” one says with an impish smile that’s almost a twitch.

The pair bow low and suddenly people’s lives are changed – white control in hand they’re bowling, running, jumping, even lassoing – essentially everything they could do anyway if only they’d pick their asses up off the couch and leave the house for a few hours.

But no. They’ll probably all get Wii’d instead. Oh, haha. We made a funny. Get it? Wii’d? You get it, right? There’s a promising commercial in there somewhere. – Contributed by Angela Natividad
