With the release date of Red Alert 3 approaching, the EA marketing machine is in full effect. Their latest stunt is about 50 short ads posted as video replies to popular youtube videos. For example, here is the
original video of a skate accident and
their response.
A couple of these videos aren't posted as video replies at all (but probably should be). And the posters
RedWhiteBlueAlert and
ThrowingStarz (and a couple of others) have no details showing that they are official EA representatives. So take all this with a grain of salt, the following videos might not be aimed at StarCraft 2 at all (i.e. just fans posting them as replies to SC2 videos). It is probably a bit dangerous legal wise for EA to officially have ads against Blizzard?
Anyway, here are the RA3 ads that
might be aimed at SC2:
For more ads check out the youtube users
RedWhiteBlueAlert and
ThrowingStarz.

Poor attempt if they really are aiming at Starcraft, this just shows that they need ads hinting that their games are better in an attempt to make more people try/buy/play it, because they do know their game is worse and that Sc2 will beat it in e-sports while Sc2 speaks for itself and, with or without ads, will get more players.
This is all my personal thoughts and view on this thing.
Edit: Peter Stormare ftw, in those ads he reminds me of a friend, both the outfit and how he speak. ^^
