\\\"The ad campaign backfired horribly, serving only to alienate fans of Mario Kart and failing to attract the mature gamers it was aimed it, because, being mature, they didn\\\'t care that the game was cartoony. Not only did it [[CreatorKiller help kill]] developer BizarreCreations, there\\\'s a rumor that the ad actually \\\'\\\'increased sales\\\'\\\' for \\\'\\\'Mario Kart Wii\\\'\\\', the \\\'\\\'exact opposite\\\'\\\' of what the ad hoped to achieve!\\\"

It sounds like someone desperately trying to provide proof of things that aren\\\'t there, and there\\\'s no concrete proof the ad caused any of this. Not only was it received fairly well critically, but the company was shut down by Activision for unknown reasons - I seriously doubt that one ad drove people away.

If people like the ad unironically, it\\\'s not SBIH. If people are laughing at it because of its badness, it\\\'s not SBIH.
