I'm not sure if you remember the Snowboarding Kids and their Nintendo 64 racing game. It was a mediocre game that felt like a slight variation on the Super Mario Kart theme, a game that most people have since forgotten about. Apparently Atlus remembered this ancient title decided to resurrect it for the Nintendo DS. The "Kids" in the original game were actually kids, but these "kids" are slightly more developed, and certainly not as innocent as they once were. I mean, they're on a ski vacation away from the adults ... this can only lead to one thing. Unfortunately I have a feeling it's going to lead to a lot of snowboarding and nothing torrid. Atlus, you're such a tease.

But this commercial isn't about sexual deviance; it has a whole different liquid on its mind ... urine! That's right; SBK's tag line references you peeing your pants because the game is so damn intense. "Snowboarding action so intense, you'll make yellow snow." If it's really that intense how do they have time to, well, whip it out and make the yellow snow?? And what about the women, will they be making the yellow snow too? And how intense can this be? It's called Snowboarding Kids; if it was really THAT intense it would have the word "Extreme" in it somewhere.

Now I'm not here to question what the youth of today is supposed to wear, but since when did it become hip to wear a bandage on your cheek? I know the New York punks would have a clothespin in their cheek, but that's a whole different story (and better suited for that Tony Hawk's American Wasteland commercial). Although the bandage is interesting, I can't stop looking at the Jamaican kid. How can this not be an offensive stereotype? I look at him and get the feeling that they had to edit out the marijuana cigarette he's smoking just to get the commercial in GamePro. Fight the Power!
