    IGN's Matt and Perrin, Sitting in a Tree

    Love is in the air today, so I thought I'd join 4 color rebellion in spotlighting the deep love that one VP of Marketing shares with a journalist who makes a living reporting on her product. IGN recently posted a video of Matt interviewing Perrin Kaplan in which she accosts him with the all the enthusiasm of a drunk college girl, only with more PR lingo. This is the sort of thing that happens when you work closely with marketing people for too long. They start to bond with you.

    Matt does a good job of holding his own, making sure to get in the obligatory dig at the PS3 while delving into the pertinent questions. Perrin, despite her goofiness, manage to dodge several questions like the pro she is. The most interesting information comes at the end once she takes over the interview and starts asking him questions...that bring the potential for original content from the Wii Shop Channel. It's not as bad as our tipster, who said, "It was like watching a bad press junket with some mindless bimbo interviewing a celebrity on Extra." Come on now, Matt is a very mindful bimbo. Don't sell him short!
