Surprisingly, I only know a couple of people who attended Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, Missouri. But UCM has wasted no time saluting its most famous alumnus.
(Other famous UCM Alumni include Dale Carnegie, the inventor of Cheerios, the man who created Purina Puppy Chow, Bubba on Mama’s Family and the CEO of World Wide Technology, Inc.)
I Tivo Idol and start it 30-40 minutes after it starts, mainly because all those commercials are excruciating. Anyway, because of this, and the fact I had my head down typing, I totally missed the Guitar Hero ads.
The David Cook one makes some sense. The one with the Eunuch just seems a tad bit weird, and I swear he’s wearing a pair of those magical underpants. He might be a better fit for ads for another Harmonix game — Karaoke Revolution.
I love Karaoke Revolution and own 4 editions of the game. There are 2 American Idol editions of the game which I do not own, but I’m sure this partnership with Harmonix made a Guitar Hero tie-in fairly easy to negotiate.
