These xbox video marketplace commercials of people with vacant stares, wearing a vaguely blissful expression on their face, that then slowly pan around to reveal the back of their hollowed-out skulls, bother me in ways I can accurately explain. Not since the days of the quiznos tv ads featuring those terrifying, screeching, levitating, living-dead rodent-things, have I seen anything so disturbing. To this day, I am still surprised none of these commercials have filtered their way into some kind of nightmare fuel for my sleeping hours.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul Brown]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 12th 2009 10:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft Xbox video marketplace ad banned for being misleading]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/12/microsoft-xbox-video-marketplace-ad-banned-for-being-misleading/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/12/microsoft-xbox-video-marketplace-ad-banned-for-being-misleading/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm not getting how this is misleading, since it doesn't actually imply anything other than you are able to download movies with your Xbox 360 which is the truth.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DeadPlasmaCell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 12th 2009 10:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft Xbox video marketplace ad banned for being misleading]]></title><link>http://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/12/microsoft-xbox-video-marketplace-ad-banned-for-being-misleading/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://hd.engadget.com/2009/02/12/microsoft-xbox-video-marketplace-ad-banned-for-being-misleading/</guid><description><![CDATA[Most people will understand 'download a movie' to mean 'download a movie you can then keep forever'.
