Rob Walker of Slate waxes philosophical on the Xbox ad (8 MB Quicktime) that was banned from British television:
Not only is our time on Earth an ephemeral flare, an awful trajectory along which we are blasted, naked and screaming all the while; not only is its climax sudden and meaningless — but there’s nothing you can do about it! Listen up, kids, there’s no escape from the cruel joke of your own mortality, so stop trying and play some video games, all right?
