Daily (Stale) Bread: The news we didn't post on November 9, 2010

Another day of Black Ops news dominance gave the rest of the industry very little room to breathe, but we've found a wide open space for these stories to flourish. Welcome to the daily stale bread.

11/9--CoD Rules Everything Around Me

Call of Duty's Twisted Advertising Campaign

The Atlantic doesn't like the "Burger Guy" CoD Black Ops promo. It's funny because my roommates adore that commercial for the respect it shows women... hell, *I* like that commercial for the respect it shows women.

Dave: Yeah, but I can see how it's disrespectful towards current soldiers and veterans. There seems to be a subtext of "War: It's so easy even fast food employees (and Jimmy Kimmel) can do it."

Ruckus brought to Def Jam Rapstar with Wu-Tang DLC
Will: WU-TANG IS FOR THE CHILDREN.

Dave: Will, I think it may be time to bring "The rapping reviewer" out of retirement.

EA Canada Head Out, Sports Studios Restructured Following NBA Elite 11 Cancellation
AJ: The fallout from NBA Elite's cancellation continues. This time, the GM of the ill-fated EA Canada team has seen the axe.

Dave: On the plus side, I'm really looking forward to NBA Jam on the Xbox 360.

A Video Game About Parents Breaking Up
AJ: The Australian government commisioned a game for kids explaining why their parents got divorced.

Dave: So the message the game's sending is "Your parents still love you very much. But not enough to explain divorce to you instead of relying on a video game to do it."

Ghost Plays Dance Masters

Dave: I know we've put two Black Ops videos in an article meant to highlight stories overshadowed by Black Ops, but I couldn't resist this one.

Will: 5/5. GOTY. Go home, people!
