    Alien U.K. unplugs "shocking" Xbox ads

    This came from a news article I saw on yahoo. The ad is on a website called playmore.com. You have to sign up to see the ads, I did but I can't log in until they send a confirmation message to my email and I'm still waiting for that. Anyhoo here's the link to news article.

    I saw the ad a long time ago, I thought
    it was pretty good.

    Is it shocking?? Can you understand why they'd react to it this way? I'm still waiting to see it.

    Shocking? No, not to me, but then again I have
    a pretty good sense of humor.

    The people who complained would most likely
    complain about Xbox's new ad where the kid
    isn't paying attention to his skateboarding and
    crashes off a rail and can't find his board. When
    he turns around, it's shoved halfway up his backside.

    A good ad will do two things:

    1. Make people talk about the ad to others.
    2. Make people remember which product the ad
    was about, even if the product wasn't shown in
    the ad.

    I think this ad fullfilled both points.

    Thanks for the link, but I've been there and you can't watch the video unless you sign in.
