    I stumbled across thsi Xbox ad and they say it's banned. I watched it an quite frankly I can't see one thing wrong with it. Could somebody please tell me why they've banned it?

    No it's a banned ad that means it is not coming on the TV.

    It's when people randomly started shooting at each other with fake "guns" (hands in gun form) and making bang noises
    But lol I watched that one, though.

    ads are usually banned because they either cause offense or distress, or they are misleading.

    Well it should be. Pointing is rude and all those people were pointing all over the place and making inappropriate sounds like fake explosions and stuff.

    Every parent should want their children to grow up to be mindless sheep who lack the ability to understand what fun is.

    In psychology, Shrinks say that kids are more likely to imitate the stuff they see on television.

    Its not like you did anyways. The topic has some interesting points of view.

    You could take the adults' perspective or the kids' perspective either way it does have a message of sending some violent connotations. Especially in today's modern world where guns are kept in secret places around the household.

    Just seeing a child play with that kind of thing justifies what the ad is literally saying.
