hey in the new sports illustrated with john gruden on the cover there is a ad for the gamecube that shows a gamecube controller with a bottle of heineken duck taped to each side?? what the heck! I'll have an excuse when my parents find my 10 year old brother who owns a gamecube drunk....

anyone see it? thoughts?

by the way i have a scanned pic of this but i cant figure out how to paste it onto here

Maybe Nintendo is promoting the idea that playing with impaired vision is the way to go...though I dunno if alcohol ALWAYS gives impaired vision since I'm only 15. Can't wait till college! BTW, it sounds phony but hey it could be for real. I mean a video game ad in sports illustrated? I know in my ice hockey magazine I never see video game ads (well except for NHL Faceoff). Signing off...

Its a Heineken ad, not a Nintendo ad. Heineken just has a Contest going on. Nintendo probably just trying to get the older audience to get a GC
