Oh great. Now where can we see that ad? Thanx. - Cam_86, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5IS anyone else bothered by the fact so many americans have no problem with the blatant censorship going on down there? Its like a nation of lethargic brainwashed zombies. There's more outrages towards the subtle assumption of sex, then there is towards the freedom to MAKE an ad with a subtle jab at animal hormones.
Land of the free? Maybe if you take Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan, etc... out of the picture. As it stands though, America does not seem so open-minded and free. Case in point, gay marriage. - sadsac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1um.. like, is it a good idea to advertise that your product attracts mice? i have enough mice around here, i don't need no videogame thing bringin in more mice.
- Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Damn FCC"
Don't blame the FCC. Blame the bastards who keep threatening to sue the FCC every time they see something that offends them TV. - zodieman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My American friends: Revolt! The puritans have taken over your country. You have to power to fight this. It has been done before (the history books call it the American Revolution).
Last time I checked that buffoon was still in the white house. I can say this because we've just called our Prime Minister a loser and forced an election. God knows what were in for... - deut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very funny and typical humour for commercials shown after 9PM in most European countries. Nice one Canada!
- Trjn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good ad.
We've had similar in Australia for other things, one I remember involved a turtle ***** a mobile phone.
Animals having sex with small devices = advertising gold. ^^ - spadin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Reminds me of this commercial. I thought it was good too.

Here, I think:

The reason this commercial may not play in America (although it has been on Adult Swim) is because somewhere along the line (from Nintendo to the TV station) someone did not think it would be appropiate.
- SmeRndmGy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0we still have puritans running this country. when's the next witch burning?

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HAha.

- DavidLightman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Love it, in the UK it wouldn't get on TV but would be OK in cinemas I reckon.
- ElectricGrandpa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whoa. Check out some of the (supposedly) old NES commercials in the basement of the nintendo recovery centre. www.nintendorecoverycentre.ca
Pretty sweet. - NismoDrift, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0awesome but last comment is true no one cares about nintendo in the US but it's a funny one should be shown in the US but the stupid FCC (***** ***** containers) block that *****.
- Midnightbrewer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0CLIFFosakaJAPAN: "Japan also has some pretty risque game related TV commercials."
You know, we both live in the same city and it looks like I don't get the same commercials you do. Which ones are you referring to? - oddstar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0now that was funny
- mathew_bug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0'Funny' is to say the least... That commercial is just pure gold!
Go Nintendo! (though I'm no fanboy) - xtremesniper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yep, theres quite a few of these Recovery Centre ads that America doesn't get. =)
- cookie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If only their games were like that
- dbrodbeck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I am in Canada, had no idea those were not shon in the US.

- ptknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why was this censured?
- Smokezz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Blame the religious freaknuts that think anything sexual is EVIL! heh
- samfrench, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ok...whos to say they didn't just choose not to show it in the U.S. for marketing purposes, or it was to expensive or something? You guys are idiots jumping to conclusions.
