i liked it

Paul Mahdi · Dec 09, 2005, 03:59 AM // 03:59

probably because people didn't like the idea of other people coming up to them and fake shooting them

The ONLY person that would effect negativly would be Chuck from my new part-time job (Army Navy Store). But he's got an excuse: The guy served two enguagements in 'nam. He freaks me out sometimes... I remember taking out the trash to the dumpster in the back of the store and he was on the roof having a 21 smoke salute, just staring at me. He could've popped me off with an M24 and I wouldn't of been surprised if he got a head shot.

i guess that IS some scary sh.....tuff.

that's a hilarious commercial. i really dont understand why they banned it.

That was funny. Dunno why it was banned the fruity music helps ligthen the mood. Ohhh I guess they DON'T want you all walking around imagine you are FPS Doug IRL with fruity music that makes you feel OK about all those headshots. Maybe one of Jack Thompson's minions did it?

watch this one

I think it would have been a lot cooler without the fruity music. The guy in the car at the end already made it clear that it was just a game.

PieXags · Dec 09, 2005, 10:02 PM // 22:02

I remember the commercial, I just love how they advertise the genre of game that sucks major ass for consoles...

Hot Dead · Dec 09, 2005, 10:07 PM // 22:07

HAHAHAHA!!!

Now I wonder how thick people are getting banning ads about life and death in 30 seconds... ><

The other one isn't as good, and it makes me wonder how dumb the Ad Authorities are getting around the world (except Japan ofc)

Narada · Dec 11, 2005, 05:04 PM // 17:04

Why? Because of rich white guys afraid of "america is going to revolt"

The guys in suits make the final call sadly, not gamers. IF gamers had their way, those both would have been aired.

lol funny commercial, but i can see how it would be banned. but why ban hand guns? many movie commercials are a lot more violant than what that was.

LifeInfusion · Dec 11, 2005, 08:42 PM // 20:42

THAT is AWESOME

Guardian of the Light · Dec 11, 2005, 10:08 PM // 22:08

Both of them are great!

O that makes me want to terrorize the street using my fingers

Former Ruling · Dec 12, 2005, 04:20 AM // 04:20

Banned Because: On Tier 1 TV (your FOXs, and ABCs, and such) - It is against the rules to show content that suggests a human might be injured by a gun without the appropaite higher age rating on the show. You cant put an "M" symbol on a commercial..so..

Gotta love that censership.

Theres a website somewhere that shows you what each tier can and cant do, all the way from PBS, to HBO.

Suggestive themes?
What about the coke commercial with two girls in bikinis literally fighting over a coke.

Isn't that suggestive?
