The world's sexiest tennis player, eh?

When I first saw the following commercial--which seemingly is being used to promote the Move-enabled PS3 version of Top Spin 4--I thought it was cheesy and tasteless.



Then I realized I would have reacted quite differently if it had featured, say, a shirtless Rafael Nadal or Fernando Verdasco rather than a Spandex-clad Serena Williams.

Agreed.

I still think it'd be pretty cheesy, just hotter :P.

However, this almost makes me feel like I should start voguing and dressing up for Move gameplay sessions.

Oh, it definitely would be hotter, IMO -- although I'm guessing some of the straight guys and bi/gay gals here may beg to differ :)

Also, I agree that this commercial makes me want to dress up for my next Wii Sports session, etc. I don't have any Spandex or leather, though, so maybe I'll just have to go with a tight tank top and some short shorts (oh, and knee-high socks!). Ha ha!

Don't forget the headband!

Bryan Ochalla said...

Right! And wristbands! Although that may be a bit too much... ;)

Haha, it's a bit stupid but sex sells and all that! She's pretty hot too, although there's a few I prefer :)

Bryan Ochalla said...

Yeah, sex does tend to sell, I'll give you that, Simon. I wonder if it'll work in this situation, though?

I really do think the folks at 2K Sports should make a follow-up with Nadal and Verdasco, though :)
