Banned TV Spot For XBox: Hold That Tiger

America is a funny place. I would like to see the written rationale for why this spot was banned.

Basically all it is is make-believe violence selling the idea of violence in the pretend world of video games.

It's a very lighthearted spot that pokes fun at movies (the twitchy guy trying to cover two guys at once with his gun and the "stone-cold-killer" faces) and comments on how strange it is that in MMPORG'S we have a huge group of strangers basically playacting together. It's a great ad for XBOX Live that reminds me more of playing as a little kid than anything involving terrorists or real guns.

Hi and Welcome

  • As Americans we are bathing in bullshit every single day. It's unavoidable. So, if we can't avoid it, we might as well come to understand it. This is a group exercise, so if you'd like to point something out to us, by all means, do.
