How many people, would you say, in America, watch South Park? How many people watch South Park on a daily basis? People who schedule themselves to watch every new South Park episode? If you took 300 average Americans and asked which ones actively watch South Park as such, at least one person would raise their hand?
America's population is nearing 300 million, so at least one million watch South Park on a daily basis by estimation. Now a million people know about the scarcely-advertized Wii. The number is probrably greater because of the people who just happened to be watching it as well, family members etc.
And on top of that, a million people can talk to millions more, and the knowledge is going to soak up like a sponge. I think Nintendo might be getting an unexpected boost in popularity in the US. :o

I've never really watched South Park... >.> I don't know why, but just never really took time out of my way to watch it. However, I wonder... where are the Wii ads already? Seriously, it's too quite for november, and I don't see Nintendo spamming the Wii. They said they'd be taking the Wii out on tour or something, and let people get hands on with it, to promote it, but that wasn't just the Fusion Tour they were talking about, was it? :?

Spam advertizing would go against what Nintendo is doing with the Wii. They want people to play the machine for themselves, not show a bunch of pictures of games like Sony and Microsoft are doing.

They played Helter Skelter one time on the radio on the show.
