The set up and the tension in that commercial was pretty cool, but then once the action started it went from cool to cheesy.

But yeah, I'm glad that commercial was banned, as if there wasn't enough bad press and people who get the wrong ideas about videogames anyway.

it was probably meant to be cheesy. they must have had an idea that it would be banned if they started gibbing peoples heads.

Well, I don't think adding blood would have remedied anything. It's just... well I don't know. I didn't particularly like the action parts and I can't put my finger on why not. It felt childish maybe...?

I've read that it wasn't actually banned - it hasn't even be released People jumped to conclusions that it was banned and now it's going around everywhere building hype like a good advert should Microsoft lawyers decided it was best not to release it apparently, which is probably a wise move. It might still make it out in some places, we shall see.

Oh and bewbies, use better thread names - "funny stuff" could mean anything :P

heh, i didnt want to make another thread with '360' in the title.. it was very intentional, being so vague. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

and yea, i personally like the commercial.. very entertaining -- especially the end with the guy in the car. true, some kiddies may get the wrong idea.. god forbid they see this commercial in the middle of their 20 minutes of gangster rap videos. you know.. the drugs.. loose women.. killing cops.. =D
