Modern Warfare (Commercial for video game)

I *think* the title of the video game was Modern Warfare... some kind of warfare, anyway.

The commercial - had nothing to do with it. The actor who had played Mr. Pitt a few times on Seinfeld is sitting in a chair, looking really old, saying disapprovingly, "Everyone's doing it. Boys are doing it, girls are doing it. Girls are doing it with each other...." and on and on and on.

Each time with an emphasis on the phrase "doing it" which normally means, having sex.

On this occasion, apparently, it was "playing Modern Warfare."

Kind of a stupid commercial, and I don't see how any teens seeing it are going to be moved to try out the game, unless they have the kinds of brains that think, "well, maybe because he says they're "doing it" in the commercial, it means it's possible to have sex in the game," and I doubt if they'd think that...

Just a dumb commercial on so many levels.
