Exactly what kind of game needs to have the makers produce an ad to get its players to buy it?  The ad says that MW2 players are now suffering from a disorder known as "Mapathy" and the only cure is the Stimulus package.  They even have a faux doctor in the ad showing players affected by this.  And yes, the Stimulus package happens to feature 2 out of the 5 maps being from Call of Duty 4.  How exactly does Mapathy get cured by having 40% of your maps be from a PRIOR version of the game?  Well, it was interesting to see a scene out of the ad that looks like it is from The Blind Side.

not to mention it's 15 bucks USD, which translates directly into BULLSHIT.

I didn't want to say the price, because I was concerned I would get it wrong.  But yes, combine that price with the how little is there, and you can see why they produced this ad.  Activision has to now convert its fan base it has a disease/disorder regarding their game, that they have to spend money on to fix.  Even you had Microsoft pitching the expansion pack, as if it is needed.
