Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



If any of you ever catch me looking as retarded as these two girls do playing with this new Wiishaft control thing, I want you to do me a favor. I want you to take the nearest blunt object you can find and I want you to hit me square in the face. I don't mind if you make a permanent injury as it will remind me of looking like a douche and hopefully ingrain the lesson not to repeat the error.
 
As far as the joystick itself goes, it could be cool or it could be tragic, but all I know is that commercial just made me want to puke. Also, the "shaft" thing -- What? So it's girls playing with a controller called a "Wiishaft"? Wow. Aren't you guys at Overline Gaming witty? Chicks jerking shafts around. In future, you may not want to attach such thinly-veiled sexual innuendo to your product, so as not to alienate the entire female gaming population, which is larger than it's ever been. 
 
Buy it here if you are so inclined.

The look at the end from them both to the camera says it all...

"Are you done making us touch each other and using these awkward things yet?"

Probably has no idea who Zangief was despite using him. For shameeeeee

I want to sew my vagina shut too.

But only because I don't like vaginas.

('cept yours Collette. Yours is lover-ly).

Miss ya' gal! Hope to see you at CES this year!

that was... excessive.

I thought I was watching pornography for a bit... or I expected them to start fist fighting. One or the other.

That was so retarded. It does not, in any way whatsoever, make me want to buy their product. I give it two "Meh"s.

@Colette Bennett

You're deriding another company for using thinly-veiled sexual innuendo?? Every single story or post you write is sexual innuendo trumpeting the fact, no matter how unrelated that you are, yes indeed - a female. We all realize that around 99% of the destructoid readership is male but it just gets annoying to see every news piece you write having less to do with the story and more to do with the fact that you have tits.

Just report the news and stop trying to be the Sarah "vagina vagina vagina!!!" Silverman of Destructoid.

They're making sex toys for Wii now? One of the FAQs on the website is "How big is the Shaft?"

I must say though.... if your acting like those girls Collete would it not be much more appropriate if the blunt object you or (for the sake of not infuriating you further) they would be smacked in the face with were also a cock? I'm pretty sure the girls shown there pretty much scream "my boyfriend hits me with his dick because I lack brains". I mean I would never do that to a chick but clearly that is the most appropriate punishment for acting like that specific demographic of women (the demo shown, not intended).

Haha, the only thing missing was them hitting each other with pillows. Also, looking into the camera at the end, ultra classy.

k first of all.. please never say anything about sewing vaginas shut ever again.. thats absolutely revolting and painful even read. I know destructoid is all risque but you guys dont wanna be revolting... right?

anyhow.. about the video

the first shot of the girls playing (right after the 'taking the shirt off' shot) if you watch the girl on the left says

'I have no idea'

wow....

incredible... i cant beleive they would use that take

My girlfriend would shed a tear on her DS if she saw this.... those girls are a disgrace...

The inuendos in this are super poorly done so I didnt find it funny. Actually a little annoyed they are not even close to using the sticks right at one point one of them start to hold the controller as a pad.

Now my idea of a cheasy inuendo commercial would be Character A comes in while Character B is on the couch (you can't see what they are doing you assume they are watching tv)(suppose this could be Female/Male,Male/Male, Female/Female probably the 1st). Character A comments on the size of the shaft and sits down as the camera pans to the there faces. At this point there are some choice of Oh Yes inuendo like sounds and facial expressions quickly followed up but the sound "Shoryūken" blaring from the game. Then it pans to the a scene you can see the TV and the controllers and a heated battle going on. Yeah this would probably be too cheasy.

They may aswell have been smashing their faces on the buttons. Actually that would have made it much better.

Colette, that is officially the funniest title you've ever given a blog post. I read it at work today and just about threw up I was laughing so hard. I had to rush quick as fuck to close the browser window before my boss came into my part of the office to see what the hell was so funny.

Fantastic. You win the internets. All of them.

Also, I would advise against suturing your vagina shut. I've stumbled upon videos of such acts, and it never looks fun.

Thank you Colette, for speaking out about this trash. I'm not lesbian either, and I do find it extremely offensive. Its (almost) enough to make me be embarrassed to be female.

Why anyone would buy this piece of shit over a Hori Arcade Stick for the Wii is beyond me. The only arcade stick available for Wii? Give me a fucking break. This thing will come and go but a Hori will die just after the cockroaches and long before Nintendo's original Game Boy's. Those things are tough.

Colette,

So exactly what is so offensive about this video? Obviously the girls are retarded and are just screwing around, but that's about it. I would understand if you were offended if it were a couple of sluts dyking it out, but it's just 2 fully clothed girls acting like idiots.

If you are really that offended by this video, get a life. There is nothing demeaning to women about it, and i'm sure the name "The Shaft" was picked out long before this video was shot. If it were guys in the video, would you be complaining about how gay they were?

I don't think so. I understand you probably want to get your name associated with all the hype of this joystick, but what a retarded way to do it.

And by the way, RJG, the Hori stick isn't even available in the US and the average person doesn't import their WII VC joystick from Japan, they pick it up at Best Buy.

I think this commercials' greatest faults are that its laden with lame sauce and has particularly amateur editing. Naturally, I consider baiting the male gaming demographic with two lady friends as a means of getting them to buy a product is a pretty shafty method, particularly considering the cheesily coy and confusing interactions between the two.

But, that all being said, I consider the majority of grrl gamers (chix, gurls, whatever they classify themselves as) as a case more worth getting upset about. The most offensive part of this video is that its a waste of mega-bits, and basically a waste of my time.

It looks like it's as good as one of those DBZ arcade sticks.

AND THOSE GIRLS DEFINITELY LOOK LIKE I DO WHEN I PLAY VIDEOGAMES, COME ON.

lol @ "eoverline" If you're going to come on Destructoid to defend your product and pretend you aren't part of Overline Gaming, couldn't you be a bit more subtle than to include "overline" in your username? Also, the Hori stick IS available in the US at Gamestop as dvddesign linked to in comment #19,therefore the "average person" (to be honest how many "average" people buy arcade sticks? hardcore fighting game fans buy them and that's about it) does have access to it. In fact Gamestop.com shows that the Hori joystick is available at local Gamestops in my area so don't claim it's an import only item.

Oh, please... If the presence of idiotic girls in the advert of a product was enough to put me off buying it, I would have a hell of a lot less stuff. Personally I don't feel that the "thinly-veiled sexual innuendo" alienates me at all... I'm much more put off by how blatantly cheap and amateur the advert looks.
People pretending to have fun in an advert but just looking ridiculous is nothing new... I don't get why so many people actually seem bothered by this.

That's a real product? I mean commercial? Or was it just a really bad informercial. Ooorrr a really awesome acid trip! Let's look at the positive people!

I bet if a male editor posted this same story, the 90% "I'm offended" comments would magically turn into 90% "they can play with my shaft anytime" type comments. Just look at any news story that mentions Jade Raymond. Yes it looks like a shitty product and ad but the males here aren't fooling anyone into thinking you're actually offended.

Looks like they are just sitting there mashing the controller. I was expecting a tickle fight to break out after the game was finished.

Yeah, except it was some dumbass male director that thought it would be best to portray female gamers in that light.

Maybe he should be the one with something sewn shut.
