Please, by all means, don't let things like reading the entirety of the first post to see at the bottom that I'm not angry, but am in fact, saying "Wow, this is a dumbass commercial." Stop you from acting like a smug jerk.

I wound up making a post about this on Facebook after the 20th or so time seeing it (there's this TV channel that plays Family Guy and American Dad in the early evening on weekdays, when there's nothing else on, and this commercial plays in every. single. commercial. break.), and everyone agreed: this sends out completely the wrong message. It's like "our game is online, and you therefore have to socialize with other players. Let's meet one now, so you can see why you never want to interact with these people for any reason!" I think we came to the conclusion that "World of Warcraft: nasty bitches play it" would have been the perfect tagline to go with the commercial, and that if they did away with the actual commercial and just kept the tagline, they might even get some Evony style "what do you mean it's not porn?" subscriptions.
