[QUOTE=Pascall;18149368]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.[/QUOTE]
Yes they do.
The difference is IW voluntarily pulled the material, and South Park doesn't.
So shouldn't IW gain at least a brownie point or two for realizing their mistake and removing it? Unlike a handful of other shows who don't. One mistake on IW's part shouldn't cause such an uproar that people are re-considering purchasing the game. People are just a little too sensitive.

Yes, they do.
But I don't see the "uproar." All I see is a bunch of kids on the internet complaining about how it was removed.
The dude who got it pulled is the associate editor of Game Informer? Oh I can't wait wait for next's month issue now. All the letters that the people will send in about how he's an asshole will surely be pretty epic.
This is why companies can never be cool, they drop one "Fuck" and they get into a controversy, lose customers and then get sued.
[QUOTE=BricknHead;18137212]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[/QUOTE]
The way I took it, it seemed more like a satire of the retards that inhabit CoD.

That's not what happened.

there's a big difference between fuck and faggot
How will people learn to accept Homosexuals if they can't even use simple words? Jesus christ.
[QUOTE=TH89;18139250]Good, that video wasn't funny at all[/QUOTE]
the point is some guy complained about the word FAG and it was taken down.
[QUOTE=jcallan;18135067]I can't wait for the [b]World at War 2 : Vietnam[/b] ad campaign:
[highlight]HEY, FAG, PLAY THIS GAME OR YOU'RE A FUCKING GOOK HUR DUR[/highlight][/QUOTE]
I would buy that game.
The game seems like shit anyway,

And? IW can do whatever they want.
:bravo: Now everyone will shut the fuck up about "LOL COD MODERN WARFARE 2 SWEET". It's total shit.
Why are you not playing Valve games you nitwits? (Serious post)

but because of paranoid america, the slightest obscenity in their commercials can mean a lawsuit. So they want to be safe. I fucking hate some of the folk who live here.
This is why we can't have nice things.
It was a stupid trailer that does "fist-bump" the shouting of "fags" over shitty headsets.
If they would have made fun of the people getting angry, then you would have something, but this just says, "yeah, keep gettin' mad, those guys are fags!"

Me too.
Everyone hides behind the retarded racism shield.
If a black man insults a white man based on his race, the white man cannot do the same without the cops being called or some retarded shit.
They weren't worried about getting sued. christ. They just agreed that the message it sent wasn't one they wanted to send.
They really need to get their PR act together, disregarding the actual messages of any of their ads, it's been one cock up after another when it comes to info about this game getting released.
FAGS FAGGOT FAGS
free speech :smug:
Honestly, the game shouldn't have been fucking delayed for this, but it was a really retarded move on IW's part. In a time of controversy over the subject of homosexuality, they really shouldn't be joking about it. That's like joking about blacks being slaves during the MLK Jr. civil rights movement.
I bet the guy who got butthurt about this wasn't even offended in the first place, but just assumed that other people would be.

No, they removed it because the guy in charge decided the GI writer was making a good point. At no point was legal pressure brought to bear or even mentioned. It was a purely ethical decision.
You need to calm down. It's just a trailer for a video game on the internet.
PHILLIES!!!!
