Homefront YouTube advert causes a stir - was THQ wrong?

People must stop being so sensitive. Really it is actually getting so bad. They are like a bunch of children people of today:-/

you should think about this in perspective. if you all of a sudden see a youtube that "looks" real saying " Anglo gold starts to pull out of south africa due to fallout with mine nationalization " you might also get a fright thinking it's real due to it could actually be real.

if you lived in south korea, reading this while you are still not fully awake you might shit your pants. this do make me think of that time where some people panicked thinking earth was under alien attack due to that one time realistic radio broadcast.

this all is understandable and has nothing to do with "being so sensitive", while we are already in an unstable world. you might think twice have you been in the related situation where it could as well be as the add was saying.

Grow a sense of humor, or grow some cancer.
I haven't taken ANYTHING off Youtube seriously, ever.

If people seriously lurk around Youtube for their breaking news... that cancer idea is sounding mighty fine.

I agree dude. The world is very unstable in this age. People are always on their toes because of all the rumours of wars and all the other bull going on. I think part of the world being as it is today is thanks to people being so insensitive towards each other, in a bigger scale than a youtube ad now, of course. But you know what I mean. No-one gives a shit anymore so to speak and it's hard to tell between the truth and bullcrap. But that's just my opinion.

There's always more than one perspective to everything.
