No. I was just trying to figure out what was being advertised. Analog was apparently properly affected:
But now the Guitar Hero brand is indellibly marked with those antipodal images of the Lady and the Tigress.


He remembered the product being sold by brand name, which is the purpose of advertising, so I would say it is a successful ad.

A way out west (a way out west)

Advertising Mini-sirloin burgers.

I can't wait to find out what they come up with to sell the mini chicken burgers.

the visuals on this commercial are Boleroworthy. Seriously.

Also, even though I've not seen the black lace commercial, we do have Guitar Hero around the house. I, II, and III, and Aerosmith. And Rock Band.

Using the "guitar" controllers are nothing whatsoever like playing an actual guitar (not that I'm competent at either) because the controller buttons are on the neck where there ought to be strings and frets. There's a flipper button where the strings of an actual guitar are strummed and the tremolo bar sortakinda resembles an electric guitar's tremolo bar. A little. Maybe.

The microphone for the Rock Band setup works closest to the actual real stage equipment, although the vocal prompting "score" setup is enough to cause OT to turn purple, fall down laughing and cursing simultaneously, and then expire in a fit of outrage. The Siamese cat likes it.

I'm still waiting for Cello Hero - Vivaldi Edition to hit the stores.

Or, perhaps, Bassoon Hero would be more to my liking...
