...Yeah... I remember that comercial when I was a kid. It's pretty dang lame, I admit, but there were far worse comercials. Back in the 1960's they used Flinstone characters in cigarette comercials.

They had a cereal for about everything back then. Heck Hot Topic sells stuff like Mario keychains and stuff still. Though I want that L Death Note t-shirt they have.

It's supposed to be like they were "inside the videogame". It wasn't till later that they had to put disclaimers saying that things don't do what they do on commercials.
