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.

Heh, I liked it too but I could see that a few people would be unhappy about it.

Pah, in Portugal they show nudity at dinner time in adverts.

I hate people like that. Making something out of nothing. Sad.

Well, this plays right in MS hands.

"There's no such thing as bad publicity" as they say.

And I saw the advert at Waterloo last night, on the big tv screen they have there. And I found it amusing.

That advert rules!

I laughed when I saw it, and now I laugh at the Daily Express for finding it a 'sick' advert.

:D

Heheh, I saw that ad and actually found it quite funny. The people who complain about these sorts of things are loners who are embittered about not enjoying themselves so they try and spoil it for everyone else.

soooooo...

Lol @ The Daily Express!

I've seen the ad. I have to admit, I laughed when it came on. I didn't realise it was an X-Box ad until the end.

By the way, it's not a baby that goes into the grave - the baby ages in mid-air, turning into a boy, then a man, then and old bloke, then he hits the grave. Just clearing that up. Muppets.
