Default Xbox 360 Commercial...

Apparently, it's all about killing people...

Am I the only one who thinks this isn't a good approach?

You're a bit late, Tanuksie: http://forums.adventuregamers.com/sh...ad.php?t=11827

And excuse me but do you see a single participant in that commercial holding an actual gun? And do you see any children?

HA, HA, HA!!! That was one of most funniest commercials I've ever seen. That part where the lady "threw the grenade", priceless!

No, I wasn't going for the violence and guns angle, but for the "shooter games only" angle...

But until Oblvion is out, it seems to only have shooters and racing games...

Edit: I just saw it again as a "banned" commercial, when did that happen?

I could never get Lucien's link to work (the player wouldn't do its thing) but I finally saw it:

Oh my god that's incredible!!

It's brings back that sense of when kids play cops and robbers. I especially loved the guy behind the wheel of the car.

Yeah, but try to convince Senator Lieberman and Senator Hillary Clinton that. Were they ever kids themselves?

From the film version of Matilda, as I don't have the book to hand:

Agatha Trunchbull: I have never been able to understand why small children are so disgusting. They're the bane of my life. They're like insects: they should be got rid of as early as possible. Hah,
[makes spraying gesture]
Agatha Trunchbull: psst! My idea of a perfect school is one in which there are no children... at all.

I'm sure they were but now they are just kiss-ass panderers whose only goal is to get reelected.
