Ubisoft celebrates a new Rayman game with three Kardashians and Corey Feldman

Here's a way to help increase respect for videogames in mainstream culture: Celebrate a release with the lamest collection of Hollywood c-list reality stars imaginable.

That's what Ubisoft is bringing us tonight with a launch party for "Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party." I've seen my share of lame videogame launch parties here in Hollywood, but this one really takes the cake in terms of the lamest group of people who almost certainly know little to nothing about the game.

Is associating videogames with the caliber of celebs listed below really good for the industry and the art form? I'd venture not. Though I guess the nicest thing we could say is that "Raving Rabbids" is aimed at a very casual audience full of Moms who probably watch and read the E!/Access Hollywood/AOL  type of shows and websites that would cover this.

Ubisoft presents RAYMAN RAVING RABBIDS® TV PARTY VIDEO GAME LAUNCH PARTY

WHAT:             In celebration of Ubisoft’s newest video game, Rayman Raving Rabbids® TV Party, celebrities and LA’s hottest VIPs will come together to show off their gaming skills at the private launch event hosted by Kim Kardashian. Exclusive to Nintendo, Rayman Raving Rabbids® TV Party is taking full advantage of the Wii Balance Board™ accessory by being the very first game that gamers can play with their butts!  In this installment of the hit game series, the Rabbids take control of Rayman’s TV station and monopolize the transmissions for a week, with each day containing a different set of mini-games based on films, fitness programs, gardening programs, etc. Guests will get a chance to preview the new game and snack on TV favorites such as popcorn and hotdogs. DJ Spider will provide the tunes for the night.
