banned FOLGERS commercial spoof
Man, all I can say is “poor kid!” o_O
The Advertising Standards Authority is putting Eidos under fire for violent posters advertising Kane & Lynch: Dead Men for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in the UK. Eidos says as soon as complaints were made of the posters, they were replaced with alternative designs. A poster, two magazine adverts and a TV ad received a number of complaints from the public, citing scenes of disturbing violence, which were perceived to condone violence, particularly towards women.
The majority of the 26 complaints were about a poster depicting two men and a woman. The latter was seating the foreground, bound and gagged. One of the men was holding her head back by the hair, wearing surgical gloves and speaking into a mobile phone. The other man held a rifle, standing behind the first. A quote, identified as being from Official Xbox 360 Mag, appeared on the poster, stating: “Grittier and nastier in tone than anything you’ve seen before, the violence here is visceral, brutal and very, very real.”
Man, their ads are sooo f@#$%7 brilliant! LOL! The video below is composed of three 30-sec video commercials of Outpost.com … Their ads are a bit “violent” but definitely memorable! Hehe!
Yeah, weird huh?? Hehe! But this commercial is so damn funny! Go watch!
In case you haven’t seen it (though it’s a year old so maybe you have), here’s the “banned” Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich commercial that it’s creator claims he created but was not approved by the client. He says Wendy’s has nothing to do with it but we’re sure the food company quietly smiling over the videos growing popularity
Go watch, it’s really cool!
Wow, couldn’t believe my eyes! This toy gun ad featured a kid who pulls out his “toy” Dick Tracy revolver and actually kills some man. Man, the 60s really rocked! Hehe!
