Major Nelson jumps the shark

A middle aged whiteguy is the posterboy for the Xbox?

Who'da thunk it!

That's the exact lot I see purchasing the damn thing.

Official console of the Midlife crisis. :lol


WHOOOOOOSH!
 
Do people honestly believe anyone from Microsoft paid her to say that? It looks like its from a press interview for whatever the silly blond c**t is doing next, she probably did a hundred little soundbites like that for various TV and online outfits as part of the sessions.

That that was unexpected...

How much did Microsoft pay Paris to say that. :lol

The real question is... did they pay her in cash or MS Points? Imagine her confusion when she gets a 4000 Point MS Point card in the mail rather than a check for $4000.

You don't know much about marketing/being a media-whore, I see. She's on a press junket for whatever shitty movie there was a poster of behind her.

You're listening to my favorite radio station, 97.5, the Brodeo.

From this hilariously bad incident on Happy Days : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpraJYnbVtE

Basically the point where something so ridiculous happens that the "jumper" can never regain credibility.

And the Major Nelson clip is far from jumping the shark. It's a dumb little clip. Not sure why people get their underoos so far up their cracks about this type of thing.

On a side note, what does "Jump the shark" mean?


Now it basically refers to a publicity stunt/gimmick that a TV show or (someone famous) does to get attention because their material can't cut it anymore to get ratings/attention.


It was named after a incident on Happy Days when ratings got so bad that they decided to have Fonzie jump a shark on a waterski to try to pull in viewers. So now when a dieing TV show tries to do some last ditch gimmick to try to get ratings they call it "Jumping the Shark".


I don't really think it applies to Nelson though. His blog is pretty big from the actual content he provides as opposed to publicity stunts for hits.

She still owes MS for the free launch 360 that she got while us gamers were starving for systems.
