@HatKing: That wasn't a DS it was a phone.  He was texting.

 Wow Bret Ratner is directing this terrible commercial. Does it annoy anyone else that the people in the commercial don’t seem to realize that it’s a parody of Risky Business, or is it that it’s just gotten to a point now where it’s not really a parody anymore?

@endaround:
I'm almost certain it was a DS, but either way could he not have set it down for those ten seconds?  I mean if I were talking to somebody and pulled out my phone and started texting in middle of a conversation... that'd be pretty rude... seems worse when he is being interviewed about a game he is somewhat involved with.

I hate how they think this commercial is so groundbreaking they need their own making of video
 
also, don't you think they could come up with something original for their commercials every time?  Instead of making the trailers the same way they make the games?  I know i've seen at least 5 of these kinds of trailers in the past year.

Why did Rivers decline the interview? Is it because he's fucked up on various substances? They could have put subtitles at the bottom and given him some sunglasses if he was embarrassed.

I'm never gonna hear Rivers talk outside of his music thing he does, will I? I guess I never try, I suppose, but still. Anyways... dude.... Band Hero: it's like Guitar Hero, but fer the whole dern family! My grandmother is quite the Blink-182 enthusiast, after all.

Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you and 'Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had the best commercial targeted towards a casual videogame audience of all time. ALL TIME!

Activision continues to plow ahead pretending that Rock Band doesn't exist, and making their products a laughing stock in the process.
