:cheers: Haha, that was grand. Why was it banned? Because it was totally random?

 

[Glirk Dient]

Hahaha friggin awsome!!

It involved fake shooting. Of course the stupid censor place (Cannot think of the name for the love of me) would ban this commercial.

It is one hilarious commercial. The cab driver part was the best. I cannot believe FAKE shooting could get banned. Isn't this better than actual gun useage?

Meh.. Whatever..

edit: fake shootin = ban? thats fecked up.

 

[Glirk Dient]

I wonder if fake swearing gets banned too...

 

[Raziaar]

Haha. i've heard of it, and wanted to see it. It was banned because of the nature of the 'gunplay'. Stupid political correctness.

 

[Naudian]

BANG!
:sniper:

 

[15357]

You have to love censorship. We even cut some 3 minutes of movie footage because of communist singing.

Agreed with Raziaar.

AHH! I'm hit! 10-33, 10-33! Officer requesting emrgency assistance!

 

[Yuri]

I really, really liked that commercial. Good thing they got it off the air, god knows consumers shouldn't enjoy commercials!

 

[Gray Fox]

Well there is also the chance that this is just part of a viral marketing campaign of microsoft, and that they leaked the movie with the message that it was banned so that it would get a lot of buzz. In any case, glad you people enjoyed it.

Oh no you don't!
*BANG*

BANG BANG!

*thrown against wall from nade blast*

 

[bliink]

Pretty funny.
Although predictable, the bit with the car was hilarious.

 

[jondy]

Haha, that was ****in' great. Woulda loved to have seen that on the air

EDIT: Grey Fox, your avatar is teh lawls you got the original video?

 

[Lethal8472]

I found the part where the "grenade" was thrown was most enjoyable.

 

[Dalamari]

"Spaced" Anyone? It was kinda funny, but Spaced did it better with the Platoon music playing and all.

 

[Gorgon]

hahaha

you made my day.

ROFL

Damn it, I was coming in here specifically to mention that. Looks like they completely ripped it off, really.

 

[DigiQ8]

That was funny ^^

*BANG*

 

[Anthraxxx]

That's great! I don't believe they banned it though.. who's that gonna offend? Stupid censor people..

I bet it would offend Jack Thompson.....

*bang*

 

[15357]

Really? When it came to the car part, I thought it would end with everyone staring at the cab driver like he was crazy.

 

[nunzilla]

Great stuff, I remember doing a movie like that with my video camera...

BANG!

 

[Solaris]

That is so cool.

 

[ailevation]

I thought at the end the guy had god mode cheats on. Would have been better if he did... then the hack police would have came and got rid of him. Then it could've been some Xbox 360 anti-cheat commercial, showing how excellent their anti-cheat is.

 

[Gray Fox]

Haha, that was ****in' great. Woulda loved to have seen that on the air

EDIT: Grey Fox, your avatar is teh lawls you got the original video?

Well I took this video from a sig from someone on totalbf, that video has more frames and is about 80 by 80, if you want to i can upload that to putfile or link you to this guy's profile. And now that we are at it, does anyone know how to change the quality of gif images in imageready. I want to make it of less quality so i can fit more frames of the original, I only know how to resize, but I do not want to make it smaller to make it less large. Cause then I would be able to make it longer and it wouldn't seem so spastic.

 

[Evo]

Lol, good vid!

Best part gotta be with the Taxi driver!

BOOM HEADSHOT!

 

[baron insig]

thats cool

me wnat 360 even more now

 

[Murray]

Best 360 commecial I ever seen (although, it's the only one I've ever seen).
Never the less, sucks they banned it.

 

[Crushenator 500]

"Spaced" Anyone? It was kinda funny, but Spaced did it better with the Platoon music playing and all.

Agreed, spaced is awesome

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Viral marketing ... an interesting suggestion. And it would be REALLY clever of Microsponge if they did send this out as a "banned" (or just unaired) commercial, because banned commercials have a way of spreading like porn across the Internet ... then two weeks or a month from now, they do air it and everyone's all "ZOMG UNBANNED :O" and people who don't know are all "WTF just a commercial, stfu noob!" but all of them buy 360s anyway.

So the real question is, do I believe it is viral marketing, and I should therefore refuse to forward it because I secretly want the 360 to fail, or should I go with the flow, like doing "the wave" at a baseball game (which I also secretly hate) and send it on?

 

[Direwolf]

I'll put that up with "I Feel Great" on my list of favorite commercials.

The dead don't talk >.<

/back to camo hiding.

 

[Jangle]

That is actually the best advert I have ever seen. I watched it something like ten times.

 

[dream431ca]

Great ad! (some un named goverment) "That provokes terrorism!! Ban it!".
