Default [IGN] Infinity Ward 'Pulls' Grenade Spam PSA
Quote:
November 1, 2009 - Last Friday, Infinity Ward released a public service announcement video on Youtube featuring an in-game character model of Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels. The video was supposed to be of the comedic variety, with Hamels addressing those pesky random grenade spammers, but its message exactly didn't come across as intended for some.

I was pretty surprised that no one brought that up in the first thread. I found it a little offensive that they did that. I say it, but I am not a multi-million dollar company selling goods to the general public.

This just goes to show how homophobia is totally pervasive in gaming culture today. Also sexism I think.

IW didnt do anything wrong, its just people whining and whining and whining some more. Nobody would whine about homosexuals except closet homophobes. Most homosexuals can take a joke.

They're doing the "any publicity is good publicity" thing, oldest trick in the book.

really ignorant though to use "gay" as a term for stupidity. and then turn around, and say that you have no problem with gay people. lol . now thats stupid

so what did this have to do with gay people? I saw that Video, thought it was pretty fun, wondered how they actually did that but more imporantly do not really know why they took it off.

Because people take offense at the first thing that they think applies to them in a negative way that they have to protest on it till it is changed. The word gay has changed from happy to a derogatory slang term for stupid or retarded and fag has turned into a negative term for a gay person and puts them in a negative light
