"A controversial ad for the Microsoft X-Box... has been banned after 136 viewers complained. The ad starts with a baby boy being shot through a window by the force of his birth. He ages rapidly as he travels through the air, screaming, and finally crashes into his own grave as an old man". article|download commercial
