Video: Chinese Nintendo Wii Knock-Off Commercial
It's easy to think of Chinese knock-offs in cheap shrink wrap stacked high in open-air stalls, but being sold via moderately well-produced infomercial? That's how these guys are hawking the "Vii," a motion-controlled Nintendo Wii knock-off that goes so far as to steal the danced double-Is in the animated logo.
If anyone happens on a Vii in New York, let me know. I wouldn't mind buying one, but I'm not going to special order one from China.

This site has a video of the Vii in action. Check out the music during the cooking game.

I like the rip-off of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games theme music that shows up from 21 to 26 seconds. I know that song upsidedown & backwards, and they totally borrowed from it :)
