UPDATE: The original IW video was pulled, but we found another feed. We had it up, but decided to pull the alternate link down ourselves.
Also we have Infinity Ward’s response, after the jump.
……………………..
Wow. This video just dropped on twitter by http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo and htp://twitter.com/Infinityward. It’s a YouTube Video “PSA” for the Fight Against Grenade Spaming starring Phillies Pitcher Cole Hamels.
Yes. F.A.G.S.
Really, Infinity Ward? See the video, after the jump.
Here’s the video:
**Video removed at users request.
I can’t believe that a company such as Infinity Ward would put a video out that basically condones the use of the word “fag” by every douche bag on Xbox Live.
As if the anonymous hate it isn’t bad enough, Infinity Ward? Now you’re basically saying it’s okay to call people Fags? I highly doubt that was your intention, but come on… Are you kidding me? It would be like using an acronym that spelled a derogatory word for a Black person or Asian or Jewish person. I could see something like this done by some dumbass fan site, but seriously.
Stuff like this simply shouldn’t be produced by a company like Infinity Ward. Is the controversy worth it? I don’t think so.
Catch the video while you can folks, once the Activision legal eagles catch wind of this, this video will go away faster than a fart in the night.
UPDATE: I received a message from Robert Bowling, IW community manager via Twitter a short time ago. Here is his direct quote:
“ Wanted to apologize for my endorsement of video. I shared it due to the core gag but inadvertently endorsed the slur, for that I pulled it”
