I can see why he is pissed but the way he talks almost makes him sound like he hates freedom.

I think it sounds a lot like he hates freedom. He actually says that since the pentagon forbids soldiers to play medal of honour, it is wrong for other people to play it.
This is not freedom, this is looking to the pentagon for instructions about your form of entertainment, and way of life.

Media-overanalysation... only in the US, I hope. Then again I don't think they'd show the ad in Europe but I'd find it hillarious.

All idiots without common sense should ne neutured.

I am absolutely sick of the media pouncing on absolutely everything that the games industry creates if it pushes the boundaries even slightly. Films portray things like this all the time, but as soon as it's in a game OH MY GOD HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT.
Ugh, irritates me so much.

the guy acts like you have to be super qualified to be a soldier. I mean, we are talking about killing people, not rocket science.

Oh and the lady get so much wrong, it's horrible.(and yes we were all shocked at the cheap grab for publicity that was no russian)

"Selling Death"?... Seriously?!

Bull-fucking-shit.
This from a Country that legally sells firearms. Oh, the irony!

...
Oh man, that's a genius parallel to draw, kudos. Sums up the entire bizarreness in one line.

I wanna see one of these 'anti-game' media spots where someone goes, "have you ever played a game like this? Like, ever? Spoken to anyone who has? Watched someone play in person? Have ANY sort of first or second hand experience about what you're talking about?" and watch the commentators sputter.

Like I said here in the News Room forums: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.244135-Columnist-Calls-Black-Ops-Ad-Twisted?page=1

I will say it here as well,
if it wasn't for Jimmy Kimmel, I would have taken it seriously. /sarcasm off
I love the way in commercials, the meaning in what they advertise takes away from the product itself only because people want to find it so. It's like trying to find a nipple slip on a beautiful girl in a dress. Fucking perverts.

WEll, the kid's riqht. Not everyone can be a soldier. One needs to be able to iqnore both common sense & human morality & decency & participate wholly in a delusion to be a soldier & that must certainly take a lot of traininq & brainwashinq huh now

ON topic, that is pretty much deliberate misinterpretation. Or at least I sincerely hope it is deliberate. Anyway, ridiculous.

ALso, I would like to point out a very inappropriate word choice when the kid said "impreqnated in soldier's minds".
(The joke here is that he should have said "imprinted")

anyway i still say that violence in video qames is so far distant from actual violence that it cannot even be called such i mean really if you have the simple mental faculties to differentiate reality from fantasy it should be easy but no some people insist on crazy

Wow semantics gone wild.


Also, anybody can be a soldier, provided they are healthy.

Lol, this thread. This in particular.

It's an 18+ rated game that portrays involvement by a kid definitely below that age. Anyone in this thread that acts as if these two people are idiots and biased and ignorant are the pot calling the kettle black!

Oh, and, to all the very informed people posting:
No, not everyone can be a soldier. There are a myriad of reasons why, but for starters you must pass a thorough medical examination. <--not everyone can pass that.
Then, you've got to successfully navigate basic training. <--not everyone can pass that.
etc, etc.

Now, not everyone can play basketball, either. I'm not saying soldiers are something more than human. I can't be an NFL player. I lack just about everything to it. Poor me.

Secondly, not everyone can deal with the emotional stress of battle. No matter what country you are in, a man bleeds and dies in the same way. Hearing about it, seeing videos of it on youtube isn't living through it. And no soldier, american or otherwise, is perfect.

Ignorance is thinking that interview has to do with gameplay. It has to do with the advertisement. And the advertisement was in poor taste.

*Sigh* Some people just done get it... I actually find it kinda sad someone watched this Ad so many times to come up with these points just to prove there a douche. For the sake of everyone who doesnt understand Blacks Ops is a game, it isnt real.

"There selling death" - Lol funny stuff.
