I don't know if everyone's seen this yet, but this is one of the best ads I've seen. Banned X-Box Ad. Even though Microsoft has decided (for some reason) not to run this ad, I can't help having a bit more respect for them.

Enjoy.
Ban Jin!

If you take out the music and the funny factor, that might be how Jack Thompson sees the world.

Sorry just had to bring this up:

If he was in the commerical, I'm afraid everyone on the face of the planet would have an Xbox 360.

But then again, no one wants to end up like him.

Holy cow, MS! Although it might be considered suggestive, it isn't any worse than Victoria Secret commercials. It should have been aired. That was hilarious.

Well, don't companies that don't belong to Microsoft make the ads?

Umm, how does M$ get respect for failing to run an awesome ad?
Props to the writer and director of the ad. Creative genius :)

I understand why they didn't run the ad though, as was stated earlier. "If you take out the music and the funny factor, that might be how Jack Thompson sees the world.". I believe that's the precise reason it wasn't run.

Too bad. That's why we have the internet.

That was a great ad! I'm sure they could use it somewhere, if not on TV.

Now thats gotta be one of the best ads I've ever seen.

Too bad Microsoft probably didnt make the ad, and it was an advertising agency instead. In fact, Microsoft probably was responsible only for the ad never getting aired on TV.
2005-12-01, 1:41 PM #20
Buh. This ad should be run.. people are too sensitive.

It's not suggesting you go out to a mall and actually shoot everyone up, with or without a real gun...

my thoughts exactly.

although i think i saw some females in the ad :)
2005-12-01, 6:35 PM #28
The song made the ad :D

I'm not sure who banned the commercial, but if it was a government agency...just wow. Hopefully it was Microsoft. Ever seen those 100 most funny commercial shows? There are some European commercials that most fundies would be screaming about for weeks. Like this one German commercial...there's a guy in a grocery store with his kids being bratty and bugging him to buy candy and toys. He just has such a tired look of despair on his face. He rolls his eyes and the video pauses, and the following message comes up: "Should've used a condom."
