typical..

I was told about this advert a while ago, and have always missed it on UK TV. So I downloaded it from the xbox site 8)

The advert is very well done.

Its just 'typical' that it gets banned in the UK.

Now don't get me started on s3x ;( and the UK.
Its no wonder other countries see us as prudes...lol

I wondered why I hadn't seen it in a while, now I know. That doesn't explain why I haven't seen the musical mosquito 1 in a while though.

Yeah, it's crazy - an advert gets banned because 136 people out of millions of viewers complain...

Yeah but you don't see the other millions cogratulating about it. I mean if it is such a cool advert then we should write to ITC and demand it back! Democracy works both ways (I think).

Ps I missed it since i have been away for 2 mths...
