Funny timing, as I just bought Rock Band today (it just got launched in mainland Europe proper).

But yes, this is very, very unfortunate.

I was really surprised to see them air that. It was so ridiculous, I think it may have actually done real damage to the Rock Band brand. Imagine if you're one of the wider audience (non-gamer) and see how totally stupid those people looked. You would not go and buy that game. I'll bet the PR guy that decided to let that air is getting his ass chewed right about now.

Though, it does say something about the reach of Rock Band. What I couldn't understand is that Meredith didn't know the damn words or melody to Livin' on a Prayer. Is it just me, or is that not a song most people know (especially of her age). Maybe she's too old for it.

I just became deaf and blind, from continuesly stabbing myself in the eyes and ears in hope that it would make it stop... Unfortunatly, it will still haunt my dreams.
