What’s something very obscure to put in this first post? Iron Man! More specifically, It’s product placement. Even more specifically than that, It’s Wii product placement. Not because I thought it was really cool, but because it was hilarious. Sure you had your LG phones, Dell Computers etc. but they all made sense. What didn’t make sense was why Paramount/Nintendo felt the need to place a Wii below Tony Stark’s TV in one scene. The thought of it raises a lot of questions.
With all his having relations with women, fighting terrorists and being a general superhero in his Iron Man suit, and business meetings when does he get a chance to have some time off? Play a soothing game of tennis? Perhaps boxing? It’s even more hilarious because it’s the Wii. Iron Man is a billionaire. And he buys the Wii? And places it in a lab filled with some of the most high- tech equipment you will ever see? A PS3 would have definitely been more suitable. Or perhaps all 3 next gen consoles, lined up next to each other below his TV. My final question, is this a path more superheros will take? Ive always wondered what they do in their spare time. Oh, Shit. With The Incredible Hulk/The Dark Knight looming on the horizon, I’m very scared. I mean, what’s next?
OMG The Hulk is playing PS3! I think he’s gonna crush it to bits.
Well, I tried. See you next time, folks.
