BMW rips off N64 kid

Remember the N64 kid? The one that freaked the hell out when mom and pop gave the little tyke his very own N64?

So does BMW. While watching the live-action "Year Without a Santa Claus" (which is terrible BTW) I saw a spot for BMW that used the video of the N64 kid, but they blocked out all the stuff on the box that denoted it was a Nintendo, put a robot on the cover that looks just like the Destructoid robot.

Screen shot goodness below. Think the kid got paid? Or did they just rip it off youtube and use it? I'm guessing the latter. Happy Holidays indeed

One more big picture after the jump.

I would just like to take this opportunity to say that danzukes avatar is the tits, though Man U is where its at! Christiano Ronaldo will eat you up for breakfast and I will pwn you in FIFA World Cup 06.

Oh it's on MiggZ!
Watch out though, Greshkov is a fan of the blues as well!

I will say that Rooney is the man though

I'm not a fan of Rooney really, but I have to admit that the blast that Essien took to tie the game up Sunday morning was impressive

I'd suck, and I'd suck hard. I know how to cheer for the right team, but that's about it

Though I do have the game

that essien strike was just silly. i'm all for the blues, but i'm a huge ronaldo fan. his skill is unquestionable. i like both teams, but when push comes to shove, lets make it three in a row.
