I called dibs on writing this post before I downloaded the video and watched what I was actually requesting to write about. Once I did I realized a mistake had been made because now I ma stuck writing about a teaser for a trailer. Yes, this is an ad for an ad, which I'm pretty sure brings the world one step closer to the brink of disaster.

As you can see you'll be able to be advertised to about Call of Duty: Black Ops if you watch Monday Night Football this week. There's some stuff blowing up in the video too. However, I suggest checking out our previews (single-player, multiplayer, 3D) for the game as they are far less pointless and don't the numb the brain through banality.

Leave it to Evil Publisher Activision to advertise an advertisement.

There is probably a burger king in the ad for an ad that may even advertise the new starcraft that may just be a viral ad for medal of honor.

They do this all the time for sneak peaks at movies and new tv shows, it was bound to happen for games eventually. Still I'm angry for some reason so please excuse me, I'm off to club ducklings at the park.

A trailer for a trailer, bravo Activision. Bravo.

I just watched a 30 second Gamestop commercial about Fable 3 to watch a 15 second "video" for Call of Duty Black Ops.

Creating advertisements for trailers makes you evil, apparently.

THAT, was not a trailer. That was repackaged footage of shit we've already seen garnishing the announcement of another video featuring content that we haven't seen, but very well could have seen in the time period that it took to tell us about when and where we can go to see it.

I was going to say something, but I think Mr Blevins said it about as well as anyone could.

Seriously, though...any time you watch a video (on this or any site) there's an ad for something else. Makes me less interested in whatever they're selling.
