Don't think there's too much in it to warrant it being banned. It's good.

It wasnt.
It's being spread around the internet as if it was so more and more people send it / talk about it.
Turns out, this ad has never been aired on any TV station here, in the US or UK.
That said, no advertising standards authority could ban it, as such ads are not vetted before airing.
Apparently, it's Microsoft who have "banned" it by going on TV, but are letting it go viral online.
Everyone is going mad going "why is it banned?? The Government is gone nuts.... it's only acting ffs" etc.... and then this ad gets loads of referals. (more likely you'll see it this way instead of them actually having to pay for slots on tv!)
More hype creating such posts as this one tbh.
Nice work by whatever agency is involved...

Haha!! Very Funny.......................BANG!!

Meh...done before IMO. Can't remember the ad but people in an office or cafe were pretending to shoot each other.
So they added a load more people,big deal.
As posted above nothing in it to warrant a banning.
Just more hype BS.
Ah yes the Blair Witch syndrome strikes again.

They decided not to go with it or air it (probably afraid of the backlash what with the anti-game sentiment that's going on at the moment), that doesn't mean it was banned.

Good ad tho.

VeVeX

Call me mad but i didnt find it hilarious at all.

As mentioned this has been done a good few times before.

the_syco

Meh. Would have been funnier if the CS:S n00bs had brought in their real guns, tbh.

Oh, and this SO reminds me of "Mine".

Goolay

Pretty funny but done much better in the fifth episode of the second series of Spaced.

Yeah that rings a bell alright.
Never watched Spaced so didn't see it from that.
