    Recently, Microsoft was forced to pull an Xbox 360 ad over concerns from anti-violence activists.

    The commercial, entitled Standoff, involves two men and and some hand(litterally)guns. To tell you more would spoil the hillarious video!!!!

    Seriously, this is a hillarious commercial!!! The funniest that ive ever seen!

    Fortunately for us, its been surfacing all over the internet. Here's a link to the video:

    The video is kinda bad quality, but you can still get the jokes.

    Enjoy!!! Oh, by the way, this is my first post.

    That was one of the best and funniest commercials that I've ever seen. I saw absolutely no harm in it at all. My favorite part was at the end when the man was talking on the cell phone in his car and held his finger up for the other man to "hold on." And then he fell against his steering wheel. :lol:

    Well, I can see why it got banned. I totally killed at least 17 people in my last finger gun fight. The feds are after me now...

    That's a very weird ad lol. Saw that on GFF the other day, why it was banned i don't know. It's just stupid. 'Cause you can really kill people with using your fingers as a gun :hmm:

    I'm guessing the reason it was banned is because it's "promoting violence"

    It's fecking godly though :lol:

    I don't find it as funny as everyone else does apparently, but it's alright. Stupid that it was banned.

    It's hilarious, but its promoting shooting in public places.

    I can see why it was pulled.
