WTF?! Banned in the USA? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!

First of all the USA isn't in the business of banning advertisements, the FCC handles that. From what I remember ads on "local" channels are given more scrutinty than cable channels, but even under those circumstances I can find no reason why the FCC would ban this commercial. That'd be retarded.

What, do we live in Nazi Germany or something?

The truth of the matter is, this commercial was not banned.

Probably some liberal group started whining like babies that they were pretending to have guns and that it would somehow make children want to commit more Columbine style attacks. Stupid liberal pansies. Guns dont kill people, PEOPLE kill people.

I didn't mean that USA is a business, I just could not remember, what government organization it was, the FCC, now that u pointed it out. Thats what i ment when i said, the government banned it, or at least i though they did.

Its because my finger is a registered weapon in 3 states and various local communities. This commercial promotes the fact that people can die from careless fingers.

Or...something stupid like that
