GameblurgKids Talking About the Future
The Xbox 360 has received a bump in hardware sales throughout the past 2 months which brings the question: Where has this sudden rise come form? Is it the booming software sales? No. It is because of its strategic product bundling? No. The responsibility of the recent Xbox 360 surge lies on the shoulders of the audacious Jane Lynch.
The witty actor (who’s credits include The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005), Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006) and Role Models (2008) ) stars in a slew of Microsoft’s “It’s More Fun Time” commercials, promoting Xbox’s ability to generate “fun” in the family household. What you don’t notice is Lynch’s gifted ability to sneak into your heart with her brash sarcasm and sly humor.
In order for the other companies like Nintendo and Sony to compete with the mammoth “Jane wave”, they could be a shoo in for a celebrity frontman/woman of their own.
A nice wholesome lady like Lisa Lampanelli, or a strategically placed f’bomb from an equally hilarious Katt Williams will have the family excited about purchasing consoles for this holiday season! Or you could just yank Jane from Microsoft. She’s funny as sin, and we’d be hard-pressed to blame you.
Our finger of disapproval doesn’t shake without friendly suggestions to follow, and if there’s anything we’ve aimed to teach you today is this: our world is jaded and celebrities sell stuff.
“A vital ingredient in hero-making is the resonance that the follower finds between the conflicts and aspirations of his own and those he perceives in the person he chooses to idealize… . The hero needs to appear to have mastered his struggle to achieve his ideals in such a way that an identification with him seems to offer the possibility of similar mastery to the follower.”
by John E. Mack. A Prince of Our Disorder. 1976
