BLUR - MOCKING MARIO KART COMMERCIAL

This ad ridicules another franchise where people can race and get powerups. The ad tells us to race 'like a big boy'. Let's hope for their sake this doesn't come back to haunt them...
Here's an image that proves trashtalking Nintendo isn't new: http://www.gamespot.com/users/Daavpuke/view_image?id=PIAI4B4g7hmV4B_unQ

daav is it about mario kart or modnation racers? or just kart racing games in general?

[daavpuke]

@pspgamer01 Well, let's see what makes sense:

Would Sony ridicule Nintendo on a childish rendition of some of their characters?

Or would they ridicule their own franchise with non-related characters?

Y'all decide.

@daavpuke activison make blur not sony and yes it was bashing mario kart

[daavpuke]

@MRacer001 True dat, sir, but they did make (or publish on PS3) ModNation Racers as per the question at hand.

What's funny is that Blur sucked ass :D

[potsiiscool]

Blur is for big boys. Mario Kart is for MEGA MUSHROOM MEN!

[AdeonWriter]

Making fun of MarioKart means you don't understand gamers.

@ConsoleWarSucks YAH!

[ConsoleWarSucks]

@spicyd2 Nah!

[spicyd2]

the graphics look more like modnation racers than mario kart. looks like a stupid tv show for 3 year olds

[CaptainAshSpearow]

Uh, have these ad execs ever actually played Mario Kart? Because I once got so angry after failing to make a turn on Banshee Boardwalk that I smashed an empty CD case with my bare hands. It's a lot harder than the colorful graphics make it out to be.

i 've never played blur but one thing that i find apealing to me is unlike mario kart you are actually using really cars in real life with a mario kart type of twist. kinda like how the movie deathrace was a rated R version of mario kart on steriods same thing here racing isn't about winning its about making friends shut it pinky roflmfao =)

@MachXX2 shut up pinky!
