One Sec, Honey, God of War 3 Ad Is On
by MICHAEL TUNISON / ADVERTISING / GOD OF WAR / VIDEO GAMES
The Kevin Butler ads for Playstation have been a little hit or miss, but the good ones have been plenty good. And the one for the soon to be released “God of War 3″ is pretty entertaining. You’ll excuse me if I don my sensitive male beret for a moment, but only thing that hurts it is the girlfriend being a little too stereotypically pouty, needy and anti-video game-y. I know it’s supposed to be an exaggeration and all, but couple this with the one for “Uncharted 2″ where the girlfriend thinks the game is a movie and Sony might be being a little harsh with the lady gamers. They do exist and not just in my sex-filled dreams.

Concerned With Facebook Privacy?
There are tools to help if you are concerned with Facebook privacy. And if you were unsure you should be concerned with your privacy on Facebook. The CNN SciTechBlog highlights four of them. Why can’t Google and Facebook chill out a little and not be so concerned with knowing every detail about us in order to monetize every penny they can. Clam down, guys, we just want to use the damn internet. If we want to buy something we’ll let you know.
THREADZombie Awareness Month?
So we can just make up awareness months now? The Zombie Research Society has dubbed May ‘Zombie Awareness Month,’ and it doesn’t appear to be a joke, maybe. You are encouraged to wear a gray ribbon to signify your awareness of zombies for the month of May. This can not be real. On their website they offer a lifetime membership in the society for $25. This is ingeniously crazy. I totally just liked the ZRS on FB.
THREADThe NFL Throwing TV Elbows
Is the NFL a television juggernaut or what? NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said ratings are up 30% from last year’s draft. Thursday night was the first ever NFL draft in prime time, and the major networks will have to take notice when the official ratings come out. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com reports the league is declaring last night’s first round a success and speculates the draft in prime time will most likely become a yearly tradition. Next year I am predicting there will be a lot of reruns aired against the draft if the networks are smart… which they aren’t.
