They banned a ad because people were pretending to shoot eachother?

lol thats just crap if you ask me, I mean who is going to get offended by a ad when people are just pretending and not even using plastic guns?

It was never banned it's just the net spreading crap again so it gets more clicks.. or possibly a sneaky ploy by them to get more people to view it, hence free net advertising ;)

It was one of multiple ads created by Microsoft, as companies do, and just happened to be one they chose NOT to air on TV, although it IS used by them elsewhere.

It's always referred to as "the banned commercial" on links, so lots of people now think it was banned.

HEAPS of stuff on video sites like video.google and youtube etc that SAY they're banned actually weren't.. it's just a good way to guarantee lots of clicks :P

IT WAS NEVER BANNED, the purpose of the ad was for people will notice the xbox 360 which is has, think about it, microsoft never had to pay a tv station to air the ad for a certain amount of times, all they have to do is make the ad, say its been banned and everyone will notice it just like it has.

They done it with the first xbox also with a "banned ad" that never aired but got massive attention, microsoft didnt have to do ИИИИ all but got massive publicity, the new ad has done the same like god dam its been a news story ffs lol.

gw microsoft
