'N-Rage'
[JOKE] [USA] [MAGAZINE, PARTIAL] [2004]
"Nokia has been banned from showing a number of ads plugging its N-Gage games device after they were branded violent and sinister. (...)In all, the [Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)] upheld six out of nine complaints against Nokia. In a statement Nokia apologised for those offended by the advertising campaign. In its defence, it said it tried to make the campaign "compelling and memorable". "Our sole aim was to produce advertising that supported the multiplayer capabilities of the N-Gage platform and used typical gaming language and imagery to reflect gaming victories." ~Tim Richardson, The Register ("Nokia's N-Gage ads are âviolent and sinisterâ")
