The Xbox 360 Banned Commercial

[Jared]

I was just thinking that it would be incredibly awesome if we all went to the same place and for 15 minutes or so, just did this

UPDATE: Alright guys, we've decided that we're going to meet at Complexe Desjardins at the Ste-Catherine's exit at 12:15pm on Sunday June 8th. The actual even will take place at 12:30. Everyone needs to wear a blue shirt and a tie so that we can distinguish who's actually playing during the fight.

Another suggestion on how we can start it:

Someone, in the middle of the area, yells this

PS. I agree to the fact that this must be one of the coolest quotes of ALL time.

Im not agree with the fact that it's becoming to violent. We are supposed to recreate the banned commercial and playing as kids are doing. I think that everything you proposed ( the weapons and the yellings) are really violent.

Im a pacific guy creating peace on earth. If it's going to violent, my friends and I are out.

Thanks!

Pfttt, not becoming too violent just giving it a bit of variety. If you check the commercial again you can clearly see that they use shotgun(the guy in the tunnel/taxi driver), grenades(the girl that tosses it at the corner), silenced pistol(the girl at the bar) and sniper rifle(the guy at the end of the tunnel). Besides this commercial is probably based off Halo (since it is a Xbox game) therefore I am just suggesting a few other choices of pewpew-ing for people who are interested. I'm not saying it's a must/obligatory, it's purely optional. As for the yellings, the announcements have nothing violent in them and it sounds cartoony. I thought it would be fun to implement it. The other line was just a joke and I found it interesting since it was that line that sparked the action the film. I would also like to remind you that this activity has no political/ethical agenda in it. So if you want to promote your political beliefs/ideology through this, I'm sorry this is not for you and I suggest you get out because you are taking this too seriously. This is pure, simple and organized fun. Also check out the FAQ at improveveywhere.com:

Can you do a prank that draws attention to my cause?

No. Even if it’s a noble cause we personally support, Improv Everywhere does not stage missions to draw attention to an issue. We are focused on creating comedy for comedy’s sake and staging events that purposefully have no explicit reason behind them, other than the goal of spreading chaos and joy throughout the world.

Why do you do this?

Improv Everywhere is, at its core, about having fun. We’re big believers in “organized fun”. Our missions are a fun source of entertainment for the participants, those who happen to see us live, and those who read this website. We get satisfaction from coming up with an awesome idea and making it come to life. In the process we bring excitement to otherwise unexciting locales and give strangers a story they can tell for the rest of their lives. We’re out to prove that a prank doesn’t have to involve humiliation or embarrassment; it can simply be about making someone laugh, smile, or stop to notice the world around them.

I like the you fail part, in particular, considering I am against war, and the killing of others. I just wish it would be more original such as not from a video game. But then again, it would be original in so far as it would be mixed and matched and to me it could be personally meaningful-- a nice touch to it all. So I am open to it.

[Vinh]

Just wondering, are restricted on using air pistols only? I like mixing in and out with some other types of guns so we can vary it a bit. Here are some suggestions:

-Shotgun (pump -action);
-Sniper rifle;
-Sub-machine guns (mp5/uzi type)
-Assault rifle (m4/ak47 type)
-Minigun/Heavy machinegun
-Bazookas/RPG/Rocket launcher
-Grenade launcher
-Grenades

PS: I know this may seem irrelevant but I really am a video game addict (CS/Halo). Can I hear a FTW from my gamers brethren?

PPS Don't forget to dual-wield weapons if you desire.

PPPS No, you can't dual-wield rocket-launchers. That would just be too overpowered ;P

[Launa]

I'm glad you put out those suggestions because my mind, though my bo is always playing call of duty, ghost recon and the like would have limited itself to the air pistol, not that that is necessarily a bad thing.

[Rin]

Shotgun FTW.
Though a sniper could be fun too.

[Hershey]

It would look like a scene in the western movies, when there are 2 cowboys lookin in each other eyes, their hands ready to take their pistols and shoot. Obviously the cowboys would be someone dressed as luky luke and 4 others as Dalton bros. Everybody who is participating would circle us and instead of shooting luky luke or dalton bros we would shoot people around us and then the fight begins.

[Launa]

oh alright, I gotcha. Okay sounds interesting.

[Hershey]

For the start signal i tought of a Luky Luke vs Dalton brothers typical western scene
