As I am the proud owner of a TiVo, I have a tendency to fast forward through all commercial interruptions. However, this scene from the movie Office Space caught my eye -- after all, it's not a new movie by any means, so what could it be advertising? Imagine my surprise when I went back to watch it and found it to be a World of Warcraft commercial!

They've also got it featured/linked on the WoW front page.

In response to #2:
The population of the US alone is over 300 million people. An although WoW has 7 million subscribers worldwide, it's estimated only about 2 million are in the US. So yes, they need a commercial. :)

That's nearly 2/3 of a % of all the people in America playing Bliz each month (I forgot how much the cost is) but even if it's like $15, which works out to everyone in America giving Bliz a dime every month...
kinda gives new understanding to the saying "if I had a dime for every...."

#2: Ever seen a Coke commercial? Or McDonalds? All companies need commercials to keep their products in the forefront of the short attention span of their consumers.
