Serena Williams' Butt Stars in Mind-Boggling Top Spin 4 Ad - UPDATED

[Shotgunjack1880]

Sexiest?

Nah.

I like the way you think good sir.

 

[Chasmodius]

It's sad when the game's avatars are more attractive than the real-life buxom ladies, but I lay that entirely at the feet of the costume people who had no idea that tennis outfits are actually a lot cuter than those ugly "sexy" clothes. Then again, I hate fishnet on anyone.

Yes, this is completely sexist and shallow of me. But then, that's the dialogue that the ad producers started us on --- blame them for pre-defining the tone of the conversation. Blame me for buying into it, of course, but I'm just responding.

And Serena Williams can crack walnuts with that butt. And that I have no problem with.

Then imagine this if you will good sir.

You're at a bar, you've had a few too many to drink. You see Miss Williams looking at you from across the bar. She winks, plucks a flea from her fur and nibbles on it oh so suggestively.
You, not having gotten any in a while decide to do what any good man would. You order 12 shots of Jaeger, power them back then, fighting the urge to vomit, stagger over to her.
You make small talk for a while "What do you do? Where are you from? Did you star in King Kong?", you really hit it off.
She invites you back to her den, you are surprised to see it is not a cave or a bundle of leaves in the back alley.
You make more small talk, power down another half bottle of Jaeger and proceed to head to the bedroom.
She start caressing each other. Pawing at each other. She smells like gorillas in the mist. Finally the time comes and she gets ready for you to mount her like a silver back!
You get ready, position yourself, and... slip!
You had a little too much to drink and so your balance was off. Now you are located directly in a area you usually have to buy a girl a diamond ring (or a fuckload of bananas in this case) to get access to and since you aint bought her the shiney yet she is practically howling with rage.

Now do you have a problem with it?

Wow. I don't find her attractive at all, but you are one of the most cartoonishly racist people I've ever had the displeasure of meeting.

What the fuck, man?

 

[Cavouku]

Has anyone else noticed women in gaming, gaming advertisements, and et cetera have been big news lately?

I have to agree with Shamus on this, I feel insulted. Like I are beast-head so feed instinct. Give food, water, sex.

And I feel insulted for women, even if they don't mind it themselves. It is ingrained in my mentality that as a male, it would be my responsibility to protect and serve the opposite sex (sorry ladies, instincts die hard), so when this happens, I feel offended that someone would take that thing I want to protect and keep safe and exploit it for personal gain. I don't own all women, they own themselves. But I can still get upset about it, right?

Oh, and as for the women themselves; they're certainly not bad, and when you put them on a global scale, they're great, but if we take the global scale, and we only include the people with a 7-or-higher rating, and then give them their own 1-to-10, they both seem to score a 4.5.

Besides, this display isn't sexy to me. I'm too bothered by what it's representing to get aroused.

 

[Verlander]

I hate the word "butt". It's the stupidest American invented word ever. It makes me feel slightly ill. I'd rather get beaten up by Serena Williams than ever hear that shitty fucking word again. Please, oh please, stop saying it.

 

[funguy2121]

Aaaaaaand sold. Marketing successful.

I concur

Pants at optimally tight level.

I think Serena is hot. Sure she has muscles but I dont have an issue with that.

Venus Williams arouses me. Serena Williams frightens me.

And about the noises... did the ad execs ever listen to a womens' tennis match? No moaning there; with every swing they make a sound like they've just taken a sledgehammer to the ovaries.

^ I agree with the noises part, and Venus is hotter.

Dammit, I can't find the video on youtube. There was an old SNL sketch about Monica Seles and her notorious "OOO--WAH--SEEEEE!"

Insulting to her, sure. But how is that racist?

Dude, did you read his post? He pulled in so many racist cliches I'm wondering if it's satire.

 

[DSK-]

If that woman is the sexiest female tennis player, I'd hate to see who they think is the ugliest.

Spoiler: This ain't pretty

Here, take this one that isn't photoshopped.

It's a shame Mauresmo gets bashed for looking like she does.

OT: That doesn't promote the game for in the slightest. Now everytime I see 'Topspin' I will think of that advert :S

 

[Joepow]

I got the impression that the gorila analogies were due to her masculinity, not her race. But I could be wrong.

Maybe, but he has to be at least aware that they often aren't, and how his words could be construed.

 

[Drake_Dercon]

At least 2k decided to try to diffuse this. This does not make me want to buy a tennis game any more, in fact, it makes me want it less. The ad was more than a little bit sad and made me feel guilty for watching it.

Good job 2k, you simultaneously undermined my respect for you and for myself. I hope the moron who made this got fired (docked pay is all right, too). Otherwise I will never buy another game that's not Civ from you ever again maybe.

My god that face looks so much like that of my friend... who recently died.

Only she looked much more sickly prior to the event in question.

And she never had stubble.

 

[Brad Shepard]

What the fuck did i just watch?

 

[erbkaiser]

Well good thing 2K is distancing itself from this. Serena Williams sexy? "She" is obviously pumped up on steroids... looks like one of those DDR "woman" athletes from the last millennium (except of course, not Russian or German).

Why on earth didn't they pick a tennis player who is actually sexy, instead of ... this ... whatever ... "Miss" Williams is?
Serena looks like a badly done post-op transvestite.

 

[theultimateend]

I not only thought this but I named a few in my head.

Course I wouldn't call myself "stringently" heterosexual.

I have no desire to touch another persons' penis, but I also don't vomit whenever a man walks by naked. I'm indifferent to it I think.

Desensitized maybe?

Course I still turn into a blubbering retard when a lady gets naked so at least that still functions as expected.

At any rate, I'm sure both these girls are nice, but the attraction is certainly not there. I ended up stopping the video because of my lack of interest.

Hmm, I guess I need to qualify myself. By stringently hetero I meant pretty much what you're saying, but applied to sex rather than bantering around random naked blokes.

In other words, a female looking shemale giving me a blowie would be ok if I didn't know she was packing a twig and giggleberries and, if I found out afterwards I'd laugh about it and herp derp myself; but if I knew before I wouldn't have gone there. Does that make any kind of sense? I think so. Why have I thought about this at all? Because you run into strange things on the internet, strange indeed.

Back into more OT speak: I completely agree with you on your last point, to the level where I think this ad is actually aimed at women and girls, not men. However strange that may be, especially with the softcore porn soundtrack. Pssh, this ad was a mess.

You sir, are a wordsmith.

It's (not) a TRAP! Surprisingly.

Sexiest?

Nah.

I like the way you think good sir.

Sadly, I don't think they could get her to wear the particular attire they wanted her to wear.
