So here's what the console industry needs, advertisements that allude to the fact that we're all dateless losers who have never seen a naked woman outside of a porno movie. You know what 3dfx, we get that enough from the mainstream news media already, there's no reason for you to perpetuate a stereotype that is just not true. And to do it in a video game magazine ... well, that's just too far!

Early on this advertisement asks a simple question, "Did you hear the one about the console gamer and the girl?" They quickly answer their own rhetorical question, "Neither did we." Oh, what a laugh riot. That's almost as funny as watching a baby seal die. I have this image in my head of these writers coming up with this stupid advertisement right between their heated argument over Macs or PCs.

But really, is it the console gamers who have the stereotype of being virgins? Last I checked PC gamers had that albatross around their neck, too. Who do you think of when you think of a gamer who still lives at home? PC gamers. And who do you think of as being the anti-social type that refuses to shower or clean up? Yeah, PC gamers. I don't suppose you heard the one about the PC gamer and the full time job? Yeah me neither. Hey ... it's not funny, but at least I'm willing to admit it up front!
