As for why DiMucci has a problem with the ad (seen in the video above), it's quite simple: the ad, which the plaintiff calls "repugnant and morally indefensible," portrays homicide in an "appealing" way.

"Defendant’s Commercials were objectionable because they featured repeated homicides in a dark, dystopian landscape, where violence is glorified as sport," the court documents read. "The killings and physical violence were not to protect innocent life, but instead were repugnant and morally indefensible images designed to appeal to young consumers.


I can't even process this right now, it's so freaking laughable. The only thing killed in that commercial is a radroach, and super mutants are shot at as well. The horror, the blasphemy.

Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are, well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em they don't even know my name


what a morally upstanding song

Lol fucking celebs should just shut the fuck up and stop trying make money off people's success. If that was really the reason, it would be done 2 years ago.

The "images designed to appeal to young consumers" comment alone, is enough to safely disregard his complaints as coming from someone who still sees video games as kids' toys. Fallout 4 is an "M" rated game.

Remember kids, it's only an RPG until someone gets hit with a meteor; Then it's a JRPG!
