Four Wheels of Fury wins a Webby

Blizzard has posted that the commercial for the Toyota truck that used WoW as a setting has won a People's Choice Webby award for online commercial. It was beaten out for the actual award by those Mac vs. PC online ads that spanned across some of the most popular websites online, but in the voting, the people decided that "I am the lawgivaaa!" was a little more exciting and creative. And as big a fan as I am of John Hodgman (and I am a big fan), I have to agree.
So rack up another award for using Blizzard's game in television media. Personally, I'm waiting until the networks figure out that they need to set a sitcom in Azeroth -- can't wait to see "The Thunderhorns," coming to NBC this fall.

It didn't really 'win.'
It won the 'People's Choice Award,' but not the award proper.
That honor went to those ridiculously overexposed Mac vs. PC commercials.

I for one think it's a stupid commercial, and if it wasn't using WoW then it wouldn't have won squat. But I still love WoW. ;-)

Here's what the Winning commercial should be:
Aran sheeping the Mac and PC guys.
Then feeding them to dragon.
STFU already Apple! STFU!
