Double page spread in the Sunday Express at the weekend, with the headline 'How can they justify these sick ads?' Apparently, some people have complained about the new Microsoft Xbox ad, in which a baby shoots out of his mum, flies through the air while ageing and lands in its grave. People are supposedly saying it makes light of death.

Ha ha, how much more stupid can these people get? How is that offensive? Sick ad? Don't make me laugh, muppets.

Well that's my interpretation of the ad!
