[kr33py]

Sigh at the overreaction of this ad

 

[gamerjames]

accusing the Redmond-based company of advocating texting... or at least, it comes "uncomfortably close" to the actual act.

What's wrong with advocating texting?

It just seems as though people are chasing ambulances whether they are there or not, why does everything have to be made into such a freaking big deal.

It's not nothing I haven't seen people actually do with there phone. I mean, really, they show murders, rape, and, i wouldn't say porn, but I would say pretty damn much pushing the boundaries and all kind of things on regular tv. So what, microsoft made a commercial of some dude taking a picture of his chest. Not like you don't see people walking down the street with there shirts off. So, I think people who are complaining just have nothing better to do. I mean, cmon, it's 2010, not 1940.

'Sexting'? Nah, didn't see it. However, what was with the people in the weird animal heads...its like cosplay Hell.

must have been putting in for the monthly "rate my nipples" contest at work, or trying to get onto whose boobs on liquidgeneration.com

but definite overreactions over something this silly, it isn't like he went south with the camera

 

[touchdowntexas13]

I think the reaction to this add is a bit overdramatic.

BUT...

I think this is a drunken hippie looking commercial. I don't care for it at all. SURELY they could have come up with something better than that. I don't care for the look of the phone either.

 

[insider3]

Wow, just imagine if he showed his nipples.

 

[hameem]

At 0:50 is he kissin his granny!!

 

[babybeluga]

Anybody want pics of my bare chest?

 

[dman3k]

Only people turned on by this would complain about it.

 

[awood28211]

Dumb commercial. Dumb reaction. Aren't there worse things to worry about than some stupid commercial portraying stupid things that stupid people do?

Why do we live in a world where if you don't oppose everything the majority opposes then you are somehow a bad guy? EVEN IF they condone sexting... they condone a practice that millions do.

 

[tsnorquist]

On the other hand, it would have been perfectly acceptable to see some violence ensue.

Get of yourselves Consumer Reports.... most people on planet earth have nipples.

WTF is wrong with you, there's nothing "sexting" about this ad. God.
