Well shoot, if I had known Killzone 2 promoted raping unimportant cipher country like Canada I would have got it day one.
First of all is there ANY violence in the ads? Are there any shootings, bombings, or killings going on? If not then I don't see what's the problem. "Glowing eyes are menacing?" Stupid Canuks.
there will be "off-limits" areas for adverts just because some whiny teacher complained.
Canada is weird.

I'm going to complain to anybody who puts up a public ad with sand in it. There is a war in Iraq right now. Iraq is in a desert. Deserts have a lot of sand. Therefore sand correlates to war.
Video games are a relatively new media (when compared to things such as films anyway) and as such it will be a while before it gets the same freedoms they enjoy. It sucks, but al this will eventually blow over.
Oh, and you spelt fallopian wrong.

People having legitimately founded complaints are one thing, while completely unrealistic and warped complaints are totally unnecessary. Do people have anything else to do in their lives than bitch and moan about menial things?
"Ohh the man with red glowing eyes is out to get me, and so is the boogieman so thats why i have a nightlight" I bet his adopted kids either don't give two shits, or are begging him for a PS3 to play killzone 2 on, and thats why he gets his panties in a bunch.
People need to calm the hell down, and get their heads out of their asses. Another quality article, Jim. Until you can write a column in the New York Times or another publication, we'll hafta enjoy you here and spread your words of wisdom.

I love that this stuff is fine if it's movie posters, but not video games, only video games contain violence. Television, movies, music. Nope, contains no violence or violent imagery at all.
I love my country :) Seriously, I love violent videogames as much as the next gamer, but overly violent advertising in public venues should not be allowed. Americans are bewildered by this of course, because they are so overly desensitized to violence they could kill their own mothers without blinking an eye. Unlike the US, in Canada we actually have ratings boards that actually care about what kind of content children will see and whatnot.
That's it. I am calling for a ban on all soft, fluffy, squeezy, cute bullshit that I see advertisments for. I want to bring an end to schools and all of their brainwashing "violence is bad" BS. I want the world to know that nice, family shit makes me offended and slightly ill. We must ban all Family friendly filth now, before it is too late for our kids!
Oh, we must also ban Hockey. That shit is violent and teaches violence to younger children. You will now notice all of your the Canadian friends cringing and looking around like they didn't hear that.

All I hear is blah blah blah mounties, blah blah blah maple syrup, blah blah blah milk bags.

Apparently this "teacher" forgot to teach his kids about violence in media, or himself. Sad, really...
HAHAHAHA!!
There's a couple ad's I've seen around the city and there's one right by my place which is also close to a school. Not once have I seen a kid look at it while waiting for the bus and say "omg! Is that the terrorists coming to rape my mommy?" (or something along those lines). Anywho dumb ass choice on everyone who had something to do with the removal of the ad's.

Sony pulls the ads a week early, and then tells the newspaper they did. Instant PR! More copies of Killzone sell. This is marketing, not pussying.
lol Canada (more like GAYnada) is BIAS cause they know Killzoen 2 is the best game ever an a killer app and they bum Microsoft (more like GAYsoft).
i think of canada as a crappy john candy movie.
and i agree that when the news channel just has depressing stories of massacres and economic woes, how the fuck can a guy in a mask with red eyes be horrifying and make people take offence?
the things people do make me think they have some unknown issues and are taking it out on something they don't have a clue about but think they can change it, and the fuct up thing is most of them do! but when masterchief is wearing a mask AND holding a goddamm gun where is this guy then?

They ATTACKED OUR IMAGINATION LAND!!!!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, more reason to BLAME CANADA!!

Wait, a SINGLE email caused sony to pull the campaign a week early?
Anyways since I love my homeland, I'll say that this could just ad easily have had NY or NJ tagged to the article.

HAHA that South Park episode is playing right now.
I saw the ads only once while passing by a bus shelter. It was nothing except a Helghast helmet and Killzone 2 in the centre. Whoever thinks of war when they see a giant helmet is fucking retarded.

I expect nothing less from YOUR Toronto, that's why I live as far away as possible from it. Also away from Quebec.
He's just mad because his students all got a copy of KZ2 before him and kick his ass online.

Please don't hate on Canada for this. Very, very few of us are this retarded. In this guy's defence, however, menacing eyes are a threat that's hard to ignore.
Oh and what's the hate with milk bags!? What type of backwards-society would keep its people back by withholding bags of milk from them?? Once you stop "carton", you'll be a rockin'.
perhaps what the teacher is stating is true. There can be elementary kids seeking shelter from wartorn Africa or Iraq. They no longer need to be exposed to it, and dont watch the news or read newspapers, their just getting an opportunity for a better education. Imagery like this can bring back painful memories of said past violence.
im just stating this cause everyone seemed to quickly jump in the bandwagon. have some perspective

if shes so worried about violence then she should move out of Toronto,they have the highest murder rate of all Canadian provinces.what a moron biotch.
Otogi Guy: If we all acted depending on whether or not a handful of people might be offended by those actions, humankind would never have achieved anything.
This is considered offensive to the people of the land of Jack Thompsons.
Don't act like this doesn't happen in the U.S. I do disagree with Sony's decision though.
@ Chronic Logic
You don't hear me saying 'Stupid Yanks' every time they ban an ad in New York or D.C. Also I should note the irony in your spelling failure of 'stupid canucks'.

Hmmm I wonder if I could keep one of those posters. Anyways the guy is a moron who probably just got owned in the game and is being a bitch.
I was just in Toronto last weekend and I saw them EVERYWHERE. How are they violent? all of them are just the cover of the game(a picture of the helghast mask).

thats an overly dramatic statement, but i know the ideal. im just trying to see this from the eyes of said kids, whether not they actually exist in that school.
