I'm sorry.. but are you making fun of the Hoffmeister??
the Hoffmeister = HUGE!!! no wait.. EPIC!!! no.. no.. wait.. LEGENDARY!!
Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!)
I'm not complaining about the advertising (although you can guarantee they wouldn't have taken a route like that for C&C 1 or 2).
But if you actually watch those videos... look at the cast for the in game cinematics. Jenny McCarthy for crying out loud.
Eh, it's no biggie. I'm not a big fan of the franchise, but it just seems like EA knows C&C isn't the nearly the phenomena it used to be, so it looks like they're trying to gain some support with a corny sense of humour.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.
Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

That's good marketing stof =)
It's true that Red Alert isn't what it used to be as far as fan/communnity support so they had to find a way to reach people. I suggest you check out their videos at http://www.ea.com/redalert/media.jsp . Corny, self-deprecating and self-aware humor works very well over the internet.
edit: wtf? the Premiere Edition podcast/advertisment was shot/delivered interlaced?

Oh I know it's good marketing. I just think it's interesting that the C & C franchise is at that point in it's life.
It used to be just so god damned huge.

I streamed the show live..
Anyways i must admit.. red alert 3 is actually pretty decent.. it's many many times better than EAs prior efforts. This is especially noted in their music and cutscenes (music curtesy of frank klepacki) ,, but there are still inconsistencies and their plot is a bit weak at time (and thers bugs).. but overall it's a fun game. And a pretty decent effort :)
