Personally I found this advert quite amusing, but now like the advert theme, ?Life is too short?, so was the advert life itself, as ITC removed it from the airwaves. Apparently this was because people found this advert offensive and after ITC received over 136 complains about, they removed this advert. Microsoft has been ordered to stop showing a TV commercial for its Xbox games console after it was dubbed "offensive, shocking and in bad taste". The Independent Television Commission (ITC) received 136 complaints about the ad claiming it has caused "considerable distress to many viewers". Press Read More for further info.
The ad starts with a woman giving birth to a baby boy. Immediately after the birth, the infant is shot out of a window, and ages rapidly as he travels at speed through the air. He screams throughout the journey before violently crashing into his own grave as an old man. The advertisement ends with the line "Life is short. Play more". News Source: The Register UK
