Happy Mother's Day, Nintendo

Okay, so I'm not accustomed to starting a blog post with 'WTF?' but, seriously, WTF?

I don't watch a lot of TV, only in the morning to get news and weather, but during my 20-minutes or so of Channel 7, I not only saw two different advertisements for Mother's Day game bundles that included either a Wii console with Wii Fit or a DSi with Brain Training, but also a few of Nintendo's own ads, which, as many of you know, feature polished-looking happy families having fun in their living room (I mean really, no one's family is THAT happy).

And then, to top it off, Sunrise is running a Mother's Day comp sponsored by Nintendo (among others) where one of the prizes is...*drum roll*...a Wii and Wii Fit.

Either Ninty is saying Australian middle-aged women are fat, or they're seriously pinning a lot of hope of this year's Mother's Day sales. It will be interesting to see if the campaign works or not.
