Hehe.. Brahms.. in a video-game commercial? Brahms and white panties. ..this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. I've never had any kind of advertisement appeal to /me/ before. #tekken6

... holy crap. I have no words. Way to insult half the population, Namco Bandai. Thumbs up.
I'm going to add, if you're going to make fun of stereotypes - you need to do in a fun, humorous way that speaks to the people you're making fun of ... you don't do it for everyone else, because it just leaves them pissed off.
With some tweaks, this could have been a really humorous spot that would have been great to target to women -- instead, it's sexist and offensive ... and breeds another stereotype about gamers.
@Iron_Cricket: My avatar is actually my girlfriend who also happens to have a Kotaku account.
There's a HUGE difference between an individual putting up a picture of his gf (approved by his gf) and a multi-national corporation supporting the stereotype of women fighting over beauty products and clothes as a way to sell to men.
@Dr Durdon: That's what I was thinking... but aren't they usually a lot bigger and metal? Maybe the times have changed and they've gotten smaller and have less to deal with people burning themselves or the plastic melting. #tekken6

If you can't see the difference, you have issues.

Redline stapler?
That's the only thing I could think of that wasn't better suited for a post on Fleshbot.
