Just saw the new _Michael Jackson: The Experience_ video game ad.

Just really really unfortunate that it starts with the voice over “for ages 10 and up” before launching into Michael Jackson singing. Then telling us only at the end of the ad that it’s actually about a video game.

It’s been forever since I’ve seen that…and it still bothers me. Thanks for the reminder.

It’s the black kid getting sprayed in the chest and going “oooooh…yuck” that makes me turn away.
