lets see so far CBS has rejected a tv commercial for a gay dating website and an ad for Dante's inferno telling potential gamers to go to hell ..yet they'll allow a misleading anti-abortion to air. seems like churchy people might get offended

According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS required some editing to EA's Super Bowl ad for Dante's Inferno before it would expose America's fragile hive mind to it. No, it's not because of all the demons and the brimstone and stuff, but rather due to the game's widely-used tag line "Go to Hell." As you can seen in the clip after the jump, it's replaced by "Hell Awaits."

The change is likely because of worries about offending conservative viewers, but we're secretly hoping that Doritos is launching a new super spicy chip during the big game and it just didn't want Dante copying its line.

I'd like to believe CBS banned the ad because Dante's Inferno fucking sucks.

me" hey conservative lady! go to hell!"

GO TO HELL ...oh I'm really sorry I meant hell is awaiting you kind sir

What? In order to work for CBS, you must be neutered? Get some ****ing balls, or hang up your hats, gentlemen.
 
My college bar was told by the Dean that they were not allowed to advertise a "slippery nipple" because it was obscene.
 
But CBS are owned by Zionist/Luciferians, aren't they? LOL
 
Dante's Inferno producers EA submitted an altered copy of their ad to CBS today, to be aired immediately. The original ad contained the profane statement, "go to hell." This has now been replaced with something closer to their original intent: "now available at EB Games."
 
In their defense, "Go to hell' is a really stupid tag line for a video game. Reminds me of the Futurama robot church.
10 Sin
20 GOTO Hell

I'm assuming you and your friends drank until 2 am, bought some eggs, and proceeded to turn his house into an omelet...
 
Dante's Inferno is a god awful joke. It's like... they know they're destroying some of the most classic literature in the world, but they know they'll make tons of money off of it. And they're not even doing it in a tasteful way like what you might consider Bioshock did to Atlas Shrugged, but instead turning it into a God of War clone. And what's worse, the game isn't even fun.
 
"the literary classic that inspired the epic game of electronic arts"

so EA have a time machine and ordered dante to write the novel

EA executive: yes dante write something aobut demons and shit like that,you will have like 500 years to do it so sure it will be nice
 
The best part is the book itself didn't really inspire the game.

"The real "ah ha" moment for me was seeing this really cool map that someone created of the 9 circles of hell. You see a lot of these maps, you know the "V" shaped cross section, but there was one in particular that had all the call-outs for the different sections, the "bosses" of each circle (Charon, Minos, Cerberus, etc.), and I just looked at that map and said, "that's a level-based game waiting to happen."
