Not banned, apparantly. A group of people confirmed it as "Viral marketing". Basically the fact that it's banned spreads it really fast. I don't have a link, but take my word for it.

Oh yeah, awesome.

Yeah, I'd say that whoever thought this up had definitely seen season 2 of Spaced.

Love the part with the delayed reaction of the guy in the car at the end.

Typical Microsoft. Take someone elses good idea and rebrand it. Spaced did it much better.

TOTAL RIPOFF! It was done 10 times better the first time.

Weird. A shortened version of this spot plays on the video screens in my elevator at work. I've been watching it for weeks with no idea that it's "banned."

I assume "banned" meant they won't show it on regular TV.

Well, apparantly it will be able to make its rounds at some point...

People will seek out an ad that is "banned". I thought it was pretty good, the best part (and most topical, on the boards at least) being the cell phone guy.

But if the point of the ad is to say that "everyone should play the 360", MS has really misjudged their audience based on the software available for the box (and other factors).

That's not the point. They are selling the "Live" aspect of the console.

Done on 'Spaced' already or not (that was a great fucking episode, though), I dug that ad. Really sells the "Challenge anyone, anytime, anywhere" aspect that makes Live work.

Apparently I'm not the only one who thought of Spaced when I saw this add.
