Life is short, play more! - Banned Xbox commercial

[IIIIITHE1IIIII]

Saw it in UK. Not sure if it was banned here or not. Personally hated it. Made me see gaming as a waste of time when I should be doing important stuff - and I like gaming so I didn't like that.

I suspect overall the context would be more negative than positive on average.

I would be curious why it was banned. Was it banned or simply discontinued?

EDIT: it was banned.

"Another woman who had lost a baby during childbirth said it was an upsetting reminder of her own experience. "

 

That's fucking ridiculous. Should we ban all commercials involving war sequences just because some old vets have had some bad war experiences themselves? Dear God.

 

Nice find btw!
