Kobe & Call of Duty

NBA branded games don't have what America likes, violence. We, as a society, get off on it. I fear some people aren't going to be pleased until we have a show called Death of the Day on the tube. WTF

 

Adding some sort of brawl-enciting mode would enhance sales. What made Arch Rivals, Blades of Steel and NHL '93 (or was it '94?) so popular? Fighting and blood, baby.

 

The commercial wouldn't be so controversial if parents would learn to tell their kids "No, you can't have that."

 

I saw the commercial and I can't believe the pizza guy at the end wasn't shot.

The fucking guy was out of ammo!!

 

And wasn't a campin' MFer!

 

One way to know you're on the wrong side of an argument: Skip Bayless agrees with you.

Way to go, Tim Keown.

 

Maybe if all the players carried guns, they would.

 

EXACTLY. What is most chilling is how casually it depicts war.

 

I thought it was a great commercial. Of course, I can distinguish between fantasy and reality.

 

But its not war. Its black ops

 

Agreed. I was going to buy the game regardless of the commercials - and IMO, they were good. How come no one is crying over Deron Williams being 'addicted' to the CoD franchise.
