YouTube - Banned xbox 360 Ad

Ha, I love this ad. It's actually pretty creative. I love the "boom headshot" in the background.

It sickens me that something so harmless gets banned, though. I mean, how the hell does stuff like that even happen? I've seen some grotesque/gory/raunchy stuff on the T.V., how come that crap doesn't get banned? Who are they trying to protect when they ban this kind of stuff, anyways?
Stuff like this bothers me, but, eh, whatcha gonna do.

It's because some idiotic kids killed a few people or mocked some video game, and instead of people blaming a mental illness they blame video games. It really is retarded.

[Ganye]

It's not just kids, sadly.

blamin games or videos
LOL! There were these kids who threw molotovs at driving vehicles because they wanted to see what it would look like.
When they were arrested, their defense was that 'GTA IV taught them how to make molotovs and GTA inspired them to see what would happen in real life'.

You could find the article on Kotaku somewhere if you want too.

Unfortunately, things like this getting into the mainstream media can mean lawsuits for encouraging behavior that was already brought up in previous posts. I really like this advertisement and it's a shame that it wasn't allowed to air, but I'd rather they pull this off the TV then pulling 360's off the shelves... without replacements. :(
