Video proof: Major Nelson is not Paris Hilton

If you've been paying attention to Inside Xbox, you may recall former Microsoft bigwig Peter Moore (now cozy with EA) calling out one Major Nelson during an interview with Microsoft's TriXie. Specifically, Moore (jokingly) described Major as "self-absorbed," adding, "now he's pretty much, you know, the Paris Hilton of video games. That, you know, he is, you know, above us all." Major Nelson is apparently not one to take things lying down, and he quickly prepared a response video for this week's edition of Major's Minute. We won't spoil it, but rest assured that Major Nelson consulted the highest authority on this matter.

Not funny...yet I laughed. Does that make me a bad person? Hey I'm fat too, don't take it personally. And yes, HOW did Major get Paris to do this?

Caution: Paris Hilton in direct contact with your Xbox may give you a nasty case of the RRoD.

Please use "protection."

Even funnier when you realise he said Perez Hilton not Paris Hilton, so he'll have the last laugh I guess.
