Okay, when Daisy Fuentes' fitness game was announced, I sort of shrugged it off. I mean, apart from an excuse to talk about Daisy Fuentes, something I rarely get an opportunity to do any longer, there's just not a lot there that interests me. But now that Ubisoft has announced the release of a Wii exercise title featuring Jenny McCarthy this holiday season, I'm starting to notice a disturbing trend.
How many of these former MTV celebrities are going to get games made? Am I going to have to be on the lookout for a Dan Cortese game? Will there be a game where Kurt Loder teaches me how to be casually aloof while reporting news from a swivel chair? How long until Pauly Shore graces the cover of a game claiming to eliminate any sense of shame you may have? Slippery slopes, people. Slippery slopes.
To McCarthy's credit, she's done a pretty good job of transitioning into more mature fare than her raunchy sketch comedy show and co-hosting duties on Singled Out. She's a mommy now, one who has published several books on kids and autism, and a fitness fiend who recently became the spokesperson for Weight Watchers. But, to me, she'll always be the spunky, wild Miss October, 1993.
Hit the jump to see a video with Jenny explaining her game.

Yeah stop right here that's all I needed to know. The guys at Ubisoft don't give any respect to Nintendo consoles anymore and sees them as their little craphole for shovelware. I'm not saying all games in the fitness area are shovelware but Ubisoft seems to only release them so people can give them money to fund their real projects.
She was hot back in the days of Singled Out, now shes just another Hollywood wacko, sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Leave the vaccine advise to people and THEIR DOCTORS honey. You know people who actually have extensive schooling, and training on the matter. Also cocks.
