Damn you Microsoft

Get yourself a halo toy with every kids meal purchase.

Kids don't need masterchief toys, why the hell would an 8 year old kid be playing the game anyway?

Alright, because their parents suck ass, but it doesn't mean Microsoft should be marketing M rated material to minors. This is bullshit and I hope they die for it.

I'm all for the world recognizing video games as a form of art, like movies, books, and songs, but marketing your product as if it was a childrens movie is just outrageous.

Holy shit, Halo 3 is rated Mature? The last time I played halo, which I think was the first one, it seemed like a teen game at best. The aliens made stupid funny noises, there was very little gore. It just seemed like a cartoony, action-based fps. What the hell could they possibly have put in Halo 3 to make it an M rating? Then again Perfect Dark was rated M... for... basically no reason at all.

Seriously, Weclock. Do you really care if some 9 year old plays Halo 3? How about we think about more important issues for now, like making sure children get a meal to eat first, and not at Burger King. Hell, I think fast food and obesity is a bigger problem for kids, than say Halo 3 toys.  ;)

Heh, you hope they die for putting a halo picture on a cup of soda? Hypocritical much? Maybe there is some truth about the effect of violent games on unstable people after all. 

Heh, I realise you are baiting us with these topics, but they are so ridiculous I can't help myself.

Halo is rated M for mature. You're supposed to be 17 years old or older to purchase the game. They're treating it like it was a kids movie. And I'm not baiting anyone, I really feel this way.
They're miserable sacks of shit. 8 year old kids don't need to know who master chief is.
They've extended their whoring of Halo into banks now.

When will it end? This is just retarded.

Halo is becoming the new Pokemon. I can't wait for the Halo 3 trading card game. Also, Halo 3 pogs with a golden master chief slammer.

Give it time...

People will start to realize how repetitive it is and give up on it... Just like Pokemon.

Master chief creates much carnage.  He is an animal.

Master chief is rated E for everyone,

Honestly halo is a great game but its nothing to have this big of an ad campaign for, the people who think halo is the best game ever drive me crazy sure its a great game but its not good enough to be obsessed over

Perfect Dark was rated M because you shot AMERICANS who are REAL PEOPLE.
