    So, is that the Mexican Shatner or the Mexican Mr. T?

    A rough translation, thanks to WoWInsider

    “Hi, my name is Willy Toledo… and I am a Paladin. I am a combination of a spell caster and a specialist in melee combat… up-close and personal, clearly what I like most. But this is serious, I´m a protector of the Holy Light. I am Willy Toledo, and I’m a Paladin. And you? What’s your game?”

    WoWInsider notes that “melee combat” translates more directly to ‘body to body’ combat, which is when Willy gets a little lecherous looking.

    Willy: “Hi, my name is Willy Toledo… and I am a Paladin.”
    All: “Hi, Willy.”
    Group leader: “Admission is the first step on the road to recovery, Willy.”

    Standing around slack-jawed and healing half-naked, dancing Night Elves in Shattrath – Yep, he’s a paladin all right.

    Here’s his IMDB info: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0865950/

    Judging from some of the movies he’s been in that have english descriptions, he’s the Matthew McConaughey of Spain.

    They have to do Samuel L Jackson next.

    “I’m Samel L Jackson bitches, and this is my motherfucking warlock. I fuck shit up. And when I don’t feel like fucking shit up, I make my Demon bitch here do it for me. I use that motherfucking dark magic, and I’m one mean son of a bitch. I’m Sam Jackson, I’m a fucking warlock. What’s your motherfucking game?”

    The advertising campaign is about preventing a further decline in North American and EU subscription numbers.

    The underlying cause is more interesting than the commercial.

    As a spanish speaker, it’s wierd to see WoW advertised. I’ve never seen a game advertised in spanish. English movies being advertised always make me laugh too…they tend to cut out any dialog scenes at all and just show action, since you don’t have to translate that =)

    Anyhoo, he doesn’t say melee fighter, what he actually says is that he’s a body to body fighter, I’m guessing some marketing rep translated it. It makes rough sense, but when he says he’s a “lucador de cuerpo a cuerpo” what that literally translates to is “wrester of body to body”. Which to me I would take to mean hand to hand combat. I guess melee = hand to hand combat, but he does take a wrestling pose in the background, and then goes slightly ninja. After that he is sotto voicing that he “really likes going body to body”, that’s when the dancing elves appear. Ah, there’s my good old spanish TV.

    All in all, tame compared to some stuff they show on spanish TV, it might confuse some markets. Sabador Gigante, a family show on saturday nights, has constant scantily clad dancers and usually has a bikini contest. One of the talk shows my wife watches has female guests take a dip with the host in a hot tub each time. It’s a whole different world. I loves my Telemundo…
