G4 is a total shill for Nintendo. About halfway through the Nintendo press conference this morning, the company called Tina Wood, a G4 host, to the stage. For the next 10 minutes, Wood stood on stage pitching Nintendogs to her fellow journalists. She told us how fun the game was and how much she liked it, and got her dorky little dog to do tricks. It was very embarrassing, but more importantly, it was unethical.

Even if Wood, or G4, didn t get paid a penny for the little ad they ran up on stage, the fact that a person who holds herself up to be a journalist is helping to plug the products she covers is distasteful at best. It was sort of appropriate that the little affair wrapped up with Shigeru Miyamoto's dog fucking Tina Wood s. So now she s a Nintendo whore literally and figuratively.
