I remember this ad campaign more for it being for a game I was really looking forward to than the controversy surrounding this particular entry. There were a couple others that seem to be ignored when bringing this one up, one of them being a man sitting in a chair with his throat slit and a cello lying on the ground in front of him with the tag line “Classically Executed”. Can’t really remember the other(s). Still, Hitman, as a series, always seems to have at least one controversial ad leading up to the release of a new game, the latest being the “put out a hit on your Facebook friends!” app for smartphones.
