Heh, nice. They had a few 'banned' ads when the original xbox came out too.

Man, you beat me to it, I was about to post that just now until i saw this thread.

Heh, reminds me of when I run out of blanks in squad tactical exercises... Bang bang bang! We're actually told to yell that.

Humorous.

Ugh..... My brain hurts now... I'm glad it was banned... Stupid!

There was only one thing that was remotely good about that: The guy with the safety line. But still...

They could have made it so much cooler if they used paintball gear instead. Like the first guy getting shot point blank. That would be entertainment.

That is some seriously funny sh!t. I loved the cabbie at the end.

I just don't see it- how is that funny again?

Oh that is hilarious. Why is it banned?

That was pretty good. Anyone ever notice how XBOX 360 ads usually have no real connection to what they are advertising? It's hilarious. Has anyone seen the water baloon fight commercial?

Probably because it involves a mass shootout in Grand Central Station (that's where that is right?), supports violence, and is from Microsoft (:P).

Gotta love the guy in the taxi at the end

Was that to illustrate the effect of lag when some dork leaves a download running during a Halo 2 match?

The one guy get's some pretty good air from that too.

That's pretty funny--banned commercials that is. It makes sense, though, considering that it can get too explicit or violent.

what was hilarious about the grenade was the guy popping up in the air. They get the same air time and motion in rainbow six 3 when you blow them up. I was having flashbacks from that.

Great commercial!

I don't think this was NFS.

Wow, lets ban a commercial where people are make believing that they are shooting each other up. Kinda like how little kids play cowboys and indians. We cant have that now can we?

While they are at it they should ban Bugs Bunny because the cartoons feature Elmer Fudd brandishing a shotgun trying to shoot this poor, harmless and innocent little rabbit for dinner. PETA should be up in arms!

Eh.....more than likely this was released for the web and advertised as a "banned commercial". The Playstation ads are by far more violent. Remember the "weapons not fit for this world" ad series?

Amusing. That is all.

Laugh out loud funny.
