    Cool

    It's comical in a sense that it makes a mockery of video game violence as applied to real life... but at the same time I can see how it's just a bad idea when there is such an entrenched debate over the effects of video game violence in real life.

    Funnier than hell...but I can see why they won't run it. WAY too controversial!

    This spot will get it's run on the internet which will be just as well for Xbox.

    But I guess beer and sexually suggestive commercials are OK. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

    Well, then we should ban the image of Carrot Top. Or, behead him live on TV. I'm game for either.
