Default GAMECUBE: New Advertising techniques!

I dont know if anyone caught the Tom Green
Show last night, but it was loaded with Cube advertising, from the show itself to the commercials. First I was a really funny commercial for Mario Golf, in which 2 people are playing golf, and one says he cant find his ball, even though it's right in front of him in the sand. His partner points this out, and he says ''Im not going in there'' It then cuts to actual footage of a chain chomp in a sand trap. Very good commercial I thought. But then here's where I was shocked. Right in the middle of tom's interview with Carmen Electra, he said excuse me and walked over to a booth sort of thing, where there were lots of gamecube's box's and game box's on display. He then talked about Wrestlemania XIX only for the Nintendo Gamecube, while he smashed things like they do in wrestling. It was quite funny, and a way of advertising ive never seen before. When he was done, he walked back to his desk and thanked Nintendo for helping pay his sidekick's salary. I wonder how much nintendo dised out for him to do that. I just thought that was a neato way of advertising...I thought.

Yeah, they had reports of it yesterday but I never actually saw it. I wish I did though.

Not bad. Hopefully they'll keep on doing stuff like this.

It seems to be Nintendo week on Tom Green.

Monday he did a promo for WrestleMania XIX.

Tuesday it was Rebel Strike.

Wednesday it was Madden 2004.

I don't have any footage from the first two, but someone on IGN captured the one he did for Madden last night. It seems rather weird.

I have noticed many cube commercials when his show is on, and now its obvious why.
