Enjoy a 3 Day Weekend Massacre to Remember Those Who Have Fallen in Battle
Just as I thought Microsoft were scraping the bottom of the barrel when it came to promotions and advertising, this little gem pops up. To celebrate Memorial Day and remember those who have fallen in conflict, we get to shoot each other in the face. Recreating the battles we are solemnly thinking about. Fantastic.
In their own words:
Memorial Day, originally known as Decoration Day, was first observed in 1868 to pay tribute to casualties of the Civil War. In addition to honoring our service men and women who have fallen in battle, this holiday also marks the unofficial start of summer, and Xbox LIVE is ready to kick it off with a bang.
I’m astounded that they went ahead with this at all. To be frank it’s just disgusting and disrespectful to those who have actually participated in combat or lost friends or family to actual war. What was going through the heads of the people who decided this was a sensible idea? You would think that by now there would be a screening process of sorts to make sure they only go ahead with the good ideas.
Not ones to be outperformed here at Negative Gamer, I enlisted the help of the #NG IRC channel to come up with a few holiday weekends of our own:

LOL Well done on the Diana/Burnout one.
This is awesome, great job Gandy. What a silly idea on MS’s part.
Brilliant.
If only you guys could have been in NG irc when we were doing this. So much fun.
