So there was this ad posted on Eurogamer, which people thought was an ad for Kinect until it was recognized as an old seatbelt ad. When you watch it, try to think of it as a real ad for Kinect. It kind of makes me think of a commercial old Sony would have done. Artsy!
It is a pretty cool commercial for seatbelts though.

It's a seat belt awareness commercial. It has nothing to do with the Xbox.
Only a website like Eurogamer would take this seriously and post it as a legit commercial. Do they honestly think Microsoft would put up an ad of a product that is supposed to be family-friendly containing loaded subjects like car crashes? No, they wouldn't.

This is a pretty well known seat belt ad that cut short before the impact. You'd have to be pretty stupid to fall for it. Gamers. Like literally, first video that pops up when you google "seat belt ad" is this commercial (in full). Make an article about anything, thank god GB is in on this 'post now verify later' bullshit now too.
