I’m not sure if I pity Verne Troyer or envy him. Here is a tiny little man who makes a living being a smaller, more abrasive version of other people. People dress him up as say, Indiana Jones, and then film him saying things like, “This is a message for Indiana Jones. I’ll fuck you up!” in his little tiny voice. It’s all part of a contest over at the Postal movie’s MovieSet web page, which plays up the “hopelessly outclassed” marketing angle Uwe Boll’s people have cooked up. After watching the clip you are challenged to guess what’s in Verne’s sack for a chance to win the contents, but I don’t think any of us really want to know what Verne is carrying around in his sack. Best just to hit the link, view the clip, and leave such questions unpondered.
Mini Indy Calls Out Big Indy [Postal MovieSet]
newVideoPlayer("WOW_VERNE_gawker.flv", 475, 267);The latest in Blizzard’s “What’s Your Game” series of World of Warcraft advertisements has been unleashed on an unsuspecting planet. This time around, as promised in the Van Damme post, is Verne Troyer of Mini-Me fame, in what is arguable the most appropriate combination of race and class in the series so far. The guy looks just like a gnome mage! It’s spooky. If I were Verne I’d be drawing royalties on much more than this commercial. It’s enough to make me want to sneak up behind him and cheap shot, hemorrhage, and kidney shot him, perhaps with a gouge for good measure. Freaky little bastards. Gnomes. Not Verne Troyer. Um.
