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
@Nezacant: Whatever good came from the boob, was drowned out by the rest of the crap. I have to say that it was the most mediocre Aztec Cult Matrix Flying Ninja Zombie Environmental Apocalypse Political Suspense Personal Horror adventure game I have ever played.
I ask this out of genuine curiosity: what's the deal with americans and nipples? Nudity is OK for you guys as long as nipples are hidden, why is that? What's so wrong about nipples?
*sigh* I was recently informed that in Japan there is a game series (at least two, probably more by now) called "Battle Rapers". Apparently this is a fighter where all the characters are sword-wielding females, and as you score hits you cut off bits of the other girl's clothing, and bloodying her up. And the finishing moves involve the sword hilts, which are actually giant dildos.
I cannot verify the truth of their existence, as I don't live in Japan, I've never seen any copies of them in person, and I'm not interested enough to actually search for it on the internet, but there you go.
@ebola9717: Thanks, I'll pass. I still hold that the strap-on joystick is the most inappropriate toy ever made, nnd I'd rather not find conclusive proof to the contrary.

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

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

Not a fan of pixelated boobage; Mass Effect took the best approach, as far as I'm concerned--certainly better than, say, Fallout 3...
