Go team Cosplay: GameFly holding open casting for next commercial

The live casting calls will be held in LA, NY and Chicago (details after the break) during September, or people can submit their :45 second entry in a specific section of the GameFly site after Aug. 26. Voting for the favorite entry will begin in October and the winner will appear in GameFly's next commercial (no word if they'll actually appear as the character they dressed up as). We'll be sure to remind again of this contest as the casting calls approach, but this early notice should give ample time to make a good costume and practice packing as much geekitude into the time allotted.
Live Casting Calls will be held at:
- September 9, Los Angeles – Hollywood and Highland Center, 6801 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028 / 12-6 p.m. PST
- September 16, Chicago – ESPN Zone, 43 East Ohio St., Chicago, IL 60611 / 12-6 p.m. CST
- September 23, New York – Hawaiian Tropic Zone, 729 7th Ave (at 49th St.), NY, NY 10019 / 12-6 p.m. EST

Ohoho, I better get a camera and make a video of my mediocre (read: awesome) cosplay.

Now see, this is where my girly side comes in. :( I feel bad for him 'cause of all those people posting mean comments. Sure, he's a total nerd, but I don't see anything funny about putting him down.

I actually think it's kinda cool myself.

Does it feature Neil Patrick Harris as a fake doctor? No? Then this commercial will SUCK.
Thatoneguy64 @ Jul 31st 2008 11:50PM
I swear that is the best commercial on air today.
Old Spice just has a great ad team, man.

No kidding... I know, because I played a fake doctor on TV.

I didn't know Brian Williams was into cosplay.

they should spend more money on distribution centers so they can get the games to their paying customers more efficiently...

You hit the nail on the head there.
I'm also glad to hear that I'm not the only one getting games sent to me across the country.

They need the kid with all the cardboard Halo stuff to do his frame perfect tea-bagging.

I just hope that they don't take a really geeky cosplayer and tell them, "Congrats, buddy, you're in!" and then make a commercial ridiculing them. That kind of stuff makes me sad. :( I don't like seeing really vulnerable people or easy targets getting picked on like that.
