I chuckled, that was a pretty well done ad. I think it's a little oversensitive to go up in arms about it though.

That video wasn't very funny.

You ruined the joke.
If I had swords for arms I would slit your throat.
while it's overkill to not buy the game over this it was also extremely fucking childish on IW's part to use a derogatory term like fag in their own fucking advertising
I thought that they were adults, not 14 year old twats
suppose they have to market to their crowd then
I love IW just for using Cole Hamels in it. I see his commercial for that damn comcast thing but to see him in something other then that makes me happy :D. Also when i play this i want that Phillies hat.
[QUOTE=PartyPancake;18135885]What ever happened to free speech? When you could say something and [i]not[/i] have to take it back for it being too "offensive".
I'm fucking angry now.[/QUOTE]
Free speech is free, as long as you accept the consequences of your speech.
What the fucking... fuck... FUCKBALLS.
I have absolutely no respect for IW, but this is still fucking retarded.
"O mah gawd i has no respect for IW nao because they used fag lol"
Hey, do you have no respect for South Park? Ever seen Team America? Watched Robot Chicken? Because if you aren't bringing up a huge shitstorm over those, then shut up. It's humor, get over it.

Robot Chicken isn't funny, South Park used to be funny but now they're just doing stupid shit and ending it all with a diatribe Ayn Rand would be proud of, and in Team America you're meant to laugh at the idiocy of it.
Good, that video wasn't funny at all
I bet it wouldn't be pulled off if they got a Yankee player to advertise it.
Go yankees, game 4 shall be hours.
I thought that was shit, the voice acting and joke sucked.
Shit advert anyway so what's the big problem?
Looked like something a kid made.
And the joke at the end was completely unrelated.
Trailer was great. One person just seemed to be in a bad mood and wanted to ruin it all. Immature if it was supposed to spell out F.A.G.S on purpose. But still well pulled off.
Boring trailer with nothing interesting /amusing.

So enough staring at computer screens, time for fresh air and maybe some games. What's everyone playing tonight?

I merely expressed my opinion -- that the video was not funny and made me reconsider purchasing the game.

Oh, so I was quoted on Kotaku and Destructoid. Awesome. Pre-emptive strike: I did not ask for the MW2 video to be pulled at all.

Oh god, stick this in quote tags, I thought you were spamming
Most people these days are just looking for something to be offended by.
This guy is actually being discriminatory himself. He's saying. "I'M STANDING UP FOR GAYS HURF DURF! :downs:" when actually he's saying that they need to be looked after because they are somehow special or different I hate people like this. If you want to be accepting of homosexuals, then don't draw attention to the fact that they are.

Now you're just looking for reasons to go after him. All he said was that the ad could be considered offensive to some.
It was a shitty ad anyway, "Hurf Durf dey said FAG LOL!!!!" What kind of idiot finds that stuff funny?
I stay inside all day to avoid these people.
This is the one thing about MW2 I still liked and even THAT got taken away. This game is now as shitty as can be. I'll be shocked if it magically gets worse.
Jeez, don't they know MW2 is an M-Rated game! It is meant to have a lot of cussing
Why do they take it down? A fag is a fag?

Oh sure you get agrees.
I thought the ad was chuckle-worthy. Hell, it was a gay guy who showed it to me in the first place telling me it was a "pretty funny" new ad. I don't see why some guy, who isn't even gay, has to go apeshit about it.
Sure, it may have been something of an immature joke, but I have seen much worse out there (like someone pointed out earlier: robot chicken, south park, etc. etc.), but no one really flips shit about that.
Oh no, a bunch of game developers put "fag" in an ad. God forbid. :|
