Apparently, I'm all about the ads that get no love from their owners.
Honestly, why would Microsoft refuse to air this ad? I've got some conflicting stories - some say the Microsoft lawyers nipped it in the bud, some say it made it to the FCC and got shot down. (No pun intended.)
Personally, I don't see the issue. Sure, they are "shooting" each other, but it's done in the same playful way that kids play games like cops and robbers. Or, at least, the way they did when I was a kid.
I like that it plays on that childish game, and I don't find it in anyway insensitive.
