Well, unless you're a douchey family like the one in the video. Otherwise, this ad won't sell you at all on Kinect Joyride if you're an average gamer. Of course, Microsoft isn't targeting the average gamer with this ad. They're targeting the casual market that will eat this game up like a whale in a feeding frenzy at a Hometown Buffet.
Have you ever been to a Hometown Buffet? I have to say, it's really good stuff. I mean, it's average food, but it's not bad for the price. I hear there's some killer buffet places in Las Vegas. Dale North always goes on and on about the awesome food he always eats in Las Vegas. I think Dale North enjoys food a little too much, if you know what I mean.
... What was I talking about? Oh right, Kinect Joyride. It's a thing that's coming out this November for the Xbox 360.

Kind of craps all over Microsoft's "real life experience" tag-line doesn't it? How many people drive their cars while standing up, in real life? People complained that you had to hold your arms up to play a driving game on the Wii. Well enjoy standing while holding your arms up to play a driving game on Kinect and wiggling around like a spaz, well you're at it. Casual gaming isn't for the Wii anymore folks. Oh the irony!
The worlds resources are at an all time low. The worlds powers see what a colossal amount of petroleum is being used in the manufacture of video games. They decide to kill the beast by working behind the curtain with the video game manufacturers in a massive effort to make them "no longer cool". Nintendo gets the ball rolling by making something that kinda works and is actually kinda cool. This is to appeal to the masses and get them all on board the "Waggin Train". Microsoft steps to bat with Kinect which takes the long coddled controllers out of gamers hands, forcing them to throw up their hands in the air and say "WTF?".
Sony seals the deal with a device that in the future will only be found in S&M brothels and anal plugs that change colors and vibrate to crappy industrial music that reminds you of the rave scene in the final Matrix movie.
Also, the part where they all lean to the side together......that's just rich.
"WOOOO OMG SON AND DAUGHTER YOU DID SPINS AMAZING LOL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WOOO YOU ARE SOOOOO GOOD AT THIS GAME THAT TAKES AMAZING SKILL WOOOO!"
"WOWOWOWOWO GOOD JOB BROTHER YOU FINISH TRACK A LITTLE BEHIND ME BU THTAS OK LETS CELEBRATE WE CAN DO THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
There you go, fixed your header for you.

-Losing to your sister sucks
-Being a co-pilot sucks
-Controller Free Waggle Sucks
-Copying to Nintendo with Kinect moving sucks
-Doing a Mario Kart/ModCar Racers Rip-off sucks
-If this is the Xbox Future, it sucks too
-Kinect Sucks
Thats all...
Yep, I'm leaving
Kinect is so gimmicky, its a parody of itself. All I see is another high priced,useless periphial. I certainly will not be buying.
Well now Kinect will read those uncontrollable reflexes as car flips and signals to turn on the jet boosters!
As for this, it kills me how much other companies are trying to be Nintendo.
Probably.
