Heard about the Xbox 360 advertisement that Microsoft is refusing to air? Well, its the best ad Microsoft has ever done, and one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. I can still understand why the lawyers stopped them from airing the ad, but if Microsoft was smart, this would be airing in every movie theatre in the nation.

I do believe somebody was, for some unknown reason, held at gunpoint for an X-Box 360.

I want to make love to that ad.

I can't see why it would be banned......

I agree, I can't see anything about it thats so bad that it needs to be banned.
I mean if it's about the pretend guns then thats just stupid, most kids are doing that by the time they're 3 years old.

Banned for pretending to hold guns?? That's pathetic. And hypocritical for a nation that allows people to carry firearms (not that I'm against that, though).

Heh. Like the ad I don't believe in banning ads. people can take offence and even complain for all I care, but the best regulator is always going to be the off button.

Nah i disagree. Ads should sometimes be banned and watersheds should be implemented. For example imagine some hardcore porn movie advert in the middle of my little bro's cartoon .... well that would just be wrong. And adverts for, say, joining the KKK, or something along those lines should also be banned. But this ad is really funny! how come the banned it when they allow firearms to be carried anyway typical american politics. Although americans themselves are nice enough. (i think the point about carrying firearms was already mentioned)

This comment should go in thee film thread I made, perhaps. Anyone seen the film 'The Runaway Jury', that's a good film with a gun pretext.

In fact the film is based on the John Grisham novel which tackled the same plot but with tobacco companies instead. However the tobacco companies sued against the film and so they changed it to guns. Thought you should know. (the book is interesting also)

murtagh, I have read evry John Grisham novel in the house, adn considering that everyone buys them for my dad i rekon that's everything he's written. The point of this post? I know it's based on his book.

Good for you... the point was to make sure you knew

It's the TV station's job to choose what advertisements they have on there. I'm sure a cartoon channel wouldn't let someone have a hardcore porn advert to begin with .

I don't really care if there were ads to join the KKK. If they want to spend tons of money getting like 3 people to join, that's their problem. Its all about our freedoms. We should exert our freedoms everywhere, just to keep America from losing more and more civil rights. I burn U.S flags because I love my country and I am a true American.

Either way, if lynchings start popping up, we can just add violent torture to the list of humane execution methods.

that ad should not have been banned. have you seen the 'ever K over is a killer' ads? some of them have dead people and blood and stuff, so why should they ban an ad because it had people pretending to shoot eachother?

No, THIS is the best ad ever:
