Sorry if you have seen this already, but I just found this out.  I can not understand why Microsoft would ban this commercial.  Too violent maybe?  If that’s the case, then what about the other 80% of our commercials?  What about movie previews?  What about game previews?  The list can go on and on.

Seriously though, if using your hands as imaginary guns can be determined as violence…then perhaps they have a point.  Time to tell the kids that playing cops and robbers is promoting violence.  Perhaps Xbox 360 was looking for where the game console is in all this frenzy.  Where practically all the people are pretending as if there’s a mafia war going on.  If the latter was the point; then perhaps they could have improvised.
