Random Grenades

Recently Infinity Ward put out an online commercial to jokingly address the problem in Call of Duty's multiplayer mode known as grenade spamming. This is the act of throwing multiple grenades in random spots in hopes of killing anyone who is unfortunate enough to walk by one. The commercial itself is voiced by Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels and honestly was done very well. Hearing Hamels talk about the problem in a jesting way was humorous and the ending of the in game video was a good gag. The problem occurred when the video ended and a voice said "Brought to you by Fight Against Grenade Spam". The fake company that jokingly paid for the commercial just happens to create the acronym of "FAGS" which was intentionally done by Infinity Ward. They believed the joke was not offensive and ultimately more entertaining than hurtful. Before I go off on a tangent about the ridiculousness of this entire situation I would just like to say that G4TV's Adam Sessler addressed the situation as well on his webshow, Sessler's Soapbox, and pointed out the problems with this commercial exactly as I would have. So instead of writing for a few hours on the reasons this commercial and the entire mentality of people who either agree with it or don't see the problem with it is frustrating at best I'll just post a link to the video. Adam Sessler is a very animated, intelligent, and passionate video game journalist who hits very key points in this video. Give it a look.
