    Commercials can be annoying.  Sometimes, instead of saying "I hate that commercial," creative people turn their satirical eye on commercials and make a parody (a funny anti-commercial version).  The video below is hilarious, especially if you have a Wii gaming system.  The makers have used the work of others to create this version- they basically copied the way Sony tries to sell the Wii, and they make it seem like the stupidest product in the world.

    How powerful is satire?  This parody commercials has over 8 million views!  That means the message, "Wii Fit is dumb" has been repeated over 8 million times.  In fact, I bet at least half of you will show this to another person, and laugh :)
