After watching this video I can honestly say this feature would never be used by anyone I know. On the other hand, if they made a feature where I could wave my hand and make ads disappear, they'd have a hit on their hands.
 
What world are these 'tards living in where anyone would want to share ads??? I don't get it? Or am I the 'tard and everyone actually loves ads? :confused:
 
I want Kinect to mute the TV when I give it an obscene gesture. That would be perfect for commercials.
 
Just Microsoft figuring out a way to get others to do their work for them.

Let's get the xbox tards to tweet a Teeyota ad to their friends. One xbox tard tweets a sweet Teeyota Prius ad to another xbox tard, and bingo it works. Brilliant!!
 
That's the one thing that I HATE about Xbox Live....ads

The accounts without any sort of paid connectivity...no ads.
I pay the subscription....I get the ads. Can't stand it.

The ads are absolutely unobtrusive and completely blend in.

Looks like they are just adding features that will be completely transparent to everyone but the people who want to use them.

This is how ads should be.
 
These clowns should spend more time making sure their systems don't need to be refurbed 8 times in 4 years and less time trying to load the xbox with advertising... which by the way is NOT free, and should be ad free as a result.

An automated telemarketer once called me and said, "I recognize voice commands!" I told it to fuck off, and it understood and hung up...now that is a good system! :D
 
Teeota? So that's how you guys over there pronounce it? I thought that your saying of hyundai (as hun-dai) was bad enough. :) So how does the American child ask for a toy? "I WANT THAT NEW TEE!!!!!" :D So for its birthday, it ends up getting a golf ball and a tee. But that's ok, the kid has ass-burgers and ADD anyway so it doesn't care or even know what it doesn't care about. Sorry guys, that was just too funny to pass up. :)

Anyways, who would actually initiate ads? I thought the xbox was to play games on. Now only if they worked on that kinect some more. How fag hatty was the "cursor" movements?

Was what I was going to say. Flip it off and it skips the commercial.

What advertisers don't seem to get is that advertising is not entertaining. But then with 70 percent of commercials on TV being for prescription drugs there aren't many ways to do that.
 
15 seconds in and I just had to stop... don't care about ads... fuck em

Here is the thing about Hyundai. The US branch of the company pronounces it "hun-dai" and the also do so in their commercials here. So how are we pronouncing it wrong when that's the way the company does itself?

Consumers have already made advertising entertainment. And what's wrong with that? Media companies get paid, businesses get their product out there and consumers enjoy themselves. It's a win all the way around.
