That's WAY frowned upon at my home games.

O really? Frowning is not enough though, you should have a penalty for that. Like, make the offender sit out an orbit or so

I'm going to now treat 2p2 like the US government treats its citizens.

OP WAS A TERRORIST.

BANNING WAS FOR SECURITY.

Awesome ad.

People forget that something that is banned tends to generate far more interest than if the clip was actually shown.

Good ad, they must have made it to go viral or whatever. My only problem with it is that it's nice and hard all the way through, but then the punchline "play poker online. it's safer", is so much like some corny ad from the 90s or something. Or like something a student wrote.

But yeah nice ad, it's interesting to see the stuff PS are doing marketing-wise like this and getting their logo into a bunch of rap videos, etc.

WTF why was this guy banned? Because he's German or what? Can't see another reason because this video can't be it.

Video was pretty badass. And, if OP isn't banned..the terrorists have won.

Op found a crazy ad that most of us probably havent seen and shared it with the forum. Its not like he's a pokerstars rep posting this everywhere and also typing go play at pokerstars and such.

Wow. Great ad. Terrific concept and execution.

Bonus points for a voice-over monologue taken from the Holy Bible.

http://www.jesuswalk.com/lessons/6_27-36.htm

And more bonus points for flipping the script on live poker vs. online being unsafe.

Also, anything that gets the poker sites competing with each other on the issue of safety is a good thing.

I'd expect to see Stars try to get this ad on the air in the U.S. and then announce that it has been "banned!" by the networks (pretty common strategy to get attention without spending placement money), except that it would not exactly help their legalization strategy here to alienate Christian conservatives.

I don't know if I'm correct, but it appears the OP was banned not for posting the commercial, but for posting some kind of affiliate or other link with it. In other words, he tried to use the attention generated by the PS ad to get traffic for his own commercial interests.

Enough with the moderation derails. You dont see the spammy link he included because it was deleted. Moderation derails are not allowed in thread and any further ones will be infracted. Take any moderation concerns to ATF or PM a mod.
