Did MTV get permission for this?

Seriously, who the [censored] would eat gum off of anything of any surface?

Never heard of a metaphor? It is basically saying that, just like used gum on a bench, ashtray, etc., you never know where someone has been. Anyone and everyone can catch AIDS, it doesn't discriminate. It isn't saying "don't chew random gum." If that is what you got out of it, you weren't paying attention.

Heard of metaphors alright; way I see this, I see this as a class of stupidity of the young advlts.

Could they seriously not think of a single song that fit this commercial better than this?

But Oblivion's music fits every kind of moment!

Are we positive that the music wasn't added in by the poster? It just seems so out of place, not to mention it almost drowned out the speaker a couple of times.

» Wed May 11, 2011 8:41 am

I think it just seemed out of place to us because we are so used to hearing it in-game.

Guys I don't care how good it looks, ~~DON'T~~ chew that used gum you found in that Ayleid ruin.

Eh, Channel 7 and 9 here in Australia have been using the music from the Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer in their ads for about 3 months. Frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if they dont have the rights to this music and are just hoping as its not as well known they can get away with it.

Love this. The thread, not the video. I had this disgusted look on my face all the time while watching it.

I could swear I once heard music from WoW on some random commercial, but I can't remember what it was

Not sure about the copyright stuff.
