- CravenTwain, on 10/11/2007, -3/+28You mean "a grammar lesson". A "grammatical lesson" would simply be a lesson that employed correct grammar. It could be about fly fishing or circuit board construction. A grammar lesson is a lesson about grammar.
- orukabir, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Nice video, completely off on description and title.
- shortarabguy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15First on-topic post...
Awesome commercial. They totally appeal to the right generation, taking focus away from the old style of thinking and shifting it to appeal to video gamers and former video gamers - Satanael, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13Sarcasm eludes you.
You take 2 damage. - mike81890, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12This was on Digg a couple months ago. The commercial doesn't represent the bank at all.... I never understood it.
- HyperJack, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I think its just fate that whenever someone complains about bad spelling or grammar of another person they inevitably make a mistake themselves.
Always happens no matter what. - IdanE, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5The whole idea is that the bank is showing us that it's thinking "outside the box", and hoping that this will show us that unlike most banks - they think different. At least, that's what I think
- elnerdo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It's word usage.
- oracleofmist, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4then they did their job
- Twoodge, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Absolutely - it's the most obvious irony ever. But yes, the noun is 'effects'; that should have been fairly obvious.
- mrbradg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I love the Smoking Aces ad they slipped in there.
- airwalkery2k, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3At first I thought it was an anti-video game commercial. Then I thought it was a weird Smoking Aces commercial once he jumped through that billboard. It surprised me to find out what it was for.
- keikun, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2where did he get that grenade?
- TeCuervo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Had I been the father the kid would have been crashing into everything!
- oxdeltaxo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2The message they're trying to get across is that video games only turn asian people into violent criminals.....of course that could be the only explanation.
/sarcasm - ritzcracker, on 01/10/2008, -1/+3bury me if you like but this is an old dupe
- h4mx0r, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Looked more like a pipe bomb to me.
- LexisNexis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It is word usage if you use the wrong word.
- orukabir, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The horrible affects of video games (GTA) on children... proof!.... "proof!", PROOF?!
I'd say that's a lot ***** more than a 'little' inaccurate. - dillibob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1gta taught him where to bye them
- ECas123, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The icing on the cake would have been if at the bottom it would read "Dramatization Do Not Attempt"
- Urusai, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"...help you on your driver's test."
Dayam, Germany must have some mean streets. - rebz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1got me, nice job ;)
- markdelete, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Outrageous title on old video gets diggs... PROOF!
- TygerrTygerr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0It's not word usage because he was clearly aiming for the correct word. It's not grammar either because grammar is structural and a spelling mistake is not.
It's a non-issue anyway, aside from making searches harder. Not everyone's first language is English, I don't care. But nitpicking and getting it wrong is much more embarassing and deserves being taken down a peg or two for being smarmy in the first place. Not you, the guy who started this foray into irrelevance. - kungfuhamsta, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Must... Invest... With HSBC
- ner0tic, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1old commercial..burried
- Bob24, on 10/11/2007, -4/+3so true
- hulez, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Video games don't promote violence. They promote Asians to drive cars. Thats the last thing we need!
- Satanael, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Description is a little inaccurate, but dugg nonetheless!
- profingersk8er, on 10/11/2007, -7/+2I'm not saying video games are completely harmless, but....
PLEASE enlighten me how does TV ad count as "proof"???? - TygerrTygerr, on 10/11/2007, -7/+0It's not grammar either, it's spelling.
- reichec, on 10/11/2007, -14/+7This is not a story about iPhone, so obviously no Digg.
- stauken, on 10/11/2007, -12/+2I think you also meant to hit the "reply" button, because otherwise you're talking to thin air.
This whole thing and everyone on it is buried for lameness. No l33tness here! - rebz, on 10/11/2007, -16/+3more like how the internet needs a grammatical lesson.
"effects"
