I was reading the article about how MS sent Jim Sterling a take-down notice for his rather harsh article about the Kinect"teasers", but as I watched the Kinectimals one I couldn't help but wonder if it could be considered false advertising.

Now before people start jumping down my throat try reading what I have to say and if so please inform me on how the business works because I will be the first to admit that I am not 100% sure on the rules of advertising, but to me, a consumer who has plenty of info on the Kinect, I know this commercial lies.

 

Those kids are wiggling their fingers in what looks to be them petting the animal or playing with it in some way.

Isn't Kinect incapable of detecting that? 

 

Just want to get some input, because I saw this brought up in the comments section and was wondering what others might know that I might not. Maybe this is partly the reason why they didn't want them shown and sent out the take-down notices?

 

Thanks.

So you have never seen a shoe commercial showing guys doing flip dunks? The Sprite commercial where the basketball court turns into a pool after taking a sip and they jump in? Need I go on? Unless they are promising something in that commercial with actual words and guarantees then its not false advertising. Use common sense before making a stupid thread that you already know the answer to. Enough of the Kinect trolling. Its seriously getting old.
