How Poland Was Sold On Halo 3; Nude Models

WARNING: Contains nude images, not suitable for younger gamers.

Kotaku writes: "Not with Mountain Dew, or soppy commercials, or signs behind trees. No, when Poland needs to know how great Halo 3 is, they go the direct route: they crack out the slutty models. This is Ania. Ania may or may not love Halo 3, we'll never know! But when Polish lads mag CKM called, said they wanted her to frolic with the game, the 360 and its associated peripherals, Ania answered. With gusto. Verve, even. Click through to see just how much verve. But be warned. It's totally, utterly NSFW. Bare flesh, wireless wheel straddling and pointing fish abound!"

Sony better get some chicks stroking Dual Shocks down their chests if they expect to compete.

[caffman]

OBEY THE HYPNOTOAD!!!!!

[socomnick]

lol

[Timesplitter14]

I think she's ugly. She looks a bit like female orcs in WoW. Dude if you want porn just try google or 4chan. No need for this in ads... do you think every X360 will come with a girl or what? This doesn't mean anything. We just need to see the games

[pshizle]

AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS SITE

[power of Green]

Sony has to do something!.

[Charlie2688]

O.o
o.O
O.O

:D

[narked]

advertising just got a weeeeeee bit better.

[BrotherNick]

look at the 10th pic...those are the most crooked boobs I've ever seen.

[Skerj]

I thought I was the only one who thought her boobs looked weird. In any case this is a lame way to advertise something especially for a gamer. It's just feeding off of that lame gamer stereotype that I constantly see debunked. I know they say sex sells but don't make it so blatant. ..and if you do use someone hot.

[Capt CHAOS]

The left nipple appears higher because she has her arm raised and it's pulling the left breast up...

Sheesh...

:-p

[THE_JUDGE]

used to be a man.

[B Man]

She's got Mrs. Garrison's boob's!

[Wii60_FTW]

fake boobs FTL

[DethWish]

No actually, I think that is a really lame way to advertise.
Also that it should be forbidden >_>

[nupes98]

Amen

[Nooby McNoobs]

this girl seriously does not know wat the X360 controller can do, someone tell her to put the controller in her pants or sit on it. The controller vibrates better than the wheel

[jpod]

i want another 360 just cuz of this.

[ScentlessApprentice7]

Warning: Contains nude images was all this article needed to peak my interest.

I just can't believe a pair of hooters (scrumptious hooters, at that) is considered "nude" nowadays. When it warned of nude images I thought I was going to see some breasts, some butt, and some poonani. Just breasts isn't nude though. False advertising.

Those ad's in Poland are a lot better than the xbox 360 ads I've seen on TV. The 360 ads here are lame as hell. The new commercial has a bunch of people dropping from hot air balloons and playing the 360 in the middle of the street, THATS IT!. The chief marketing agent at MS seriously needs to think of something that isn't so generic.

[ravinash]

I don't think it'll go down well if I have breasts splashed across my screen for everyone at work to see.

[mighty_douche]

marketting....
marketting....
marketting....
the 360 fans were right, they have all the best marketting, no sorry i mean games.

go watch Pure Pwnage Season 3 episode 15 (T-bag)

[DarkArcani]

I hate fake looking boobs sooooo much. Especially bad looking fake boobs. If anything it makes me not want to buy an 360.

[ScentlessApprentice7]

As long as I can squeeze em' thats real enough for me :)

[pacman615]

like her nipples are looking at you all crosseyed and chitz...lolzz

edit: but i couldn't turn away :)

[socsca]

Anyone who's never touched any says that, sorry, just stating fact.

[Maldread]

This of course, if you`re not g..

[mighty_douche]

im on the internet now and if i dont look at a pair on t!ts on a gaming site im gay? maybe im wrong, but i think the internet already has 1 or 2 sites dedicated to that sort of thing.

shove some breasts in peoples face and they really start to act their age huh.

[Maldread]

It`s just a joke dude. And for the record, you said gay, i just put a g.. which could mean grumpy ;)

[actas123]

Alright, hookers have something else to do besides getting f**d. Now they can work for MS advertisement agency.

[DarkArcani]

I know, it just screams "all ages jump in".

I know kids should and would never see this adv., but its the principle behind the action that I look at.

I think it could have been more sexy/effective with the woman clothed. It adds a sense of enticement and curiosity instead of hey here is my bush and my obviously fake rack that probably cost the same as two 360 elites.

[whoelse]

Way to go! :)

Poland FTW, na not really.

[ErcsYou]

now thats some good old fashioned family fun...

[kingboy]

didn`t even notice the console cause i was busy looking at the babes chest :)

[KeiZka]

Well, at least those pictures pique interest... of nerds, anyway.

[Bolts]

I guess homosexuals like yourself isn't interested in naked chicks with fake boobs.

[KeiZka]

Love how you assume things. Reported for offensive, by the way.

Now... First of all, how do you know whether I am gay or not? Do you instantly think that "ZOMG, he's a gamer, he can't have a contact to the fairer gender!". Wrong on that one, kiddo.

Second. Where I said I wasn't a nerd? Still, didn't really interest me.

Have fun, with comments like that. I'm sure someone will find you cute. NOT.

[carl ps3]

she was just about to make love to it...but the red ring of death let her down ;-D

[leon76]

Ahahahahahahah...you guys never been with a woman before, don't you????

[rukusa]

Lol okay that was a pretty pointless.

[10000]

Man If Jack Thompson ever came across these images, he'd make peace with game violence...

[Matpan]

A nice rack and a fine pair of legs can sell anything...

I don´t quite see the link btween the chick and halo 3... maybe if master chief was dropping his pants and getting onto her.. :P

[Capt CHAOS]

about cortana?? Lol.

[RadientFlux]

My first thought when looking at the pictures is... "she can lick my controller any day"

[Motojass]

give me her and a bottle of scotch

[Lacarious]

we want more!!!!

[Rama26285]

Fake breast with uneven nipples, stroking a returned Xbox 360 and a girl with no ass - not my type of advertising unfortunately. If this is real and by Microsoft then they've stooped to a new low.

Also, what do these pictures actually have to do with Halo 3? She's holding a steering wheel and a guitar is some of them!!

Overall, quite lame really. (Sorry lads!!)

[bootsielon]

Here's Jade's new script.

[Adriokor]

Some of you should try to understand that there are vast cultural differences between your own country and Poland...let me explain

CKM is like the Maxim of NA only in Europe sex is discussed more openly and definetly used way more to sell products over there. There is less of a stigma when it comes to naked bodies compared to the more conservative view in NA. The female body is a beautiful thing so why not embrace it? IF you do happen to have a problem don't click on the add, the article is pretty clear on what you will see.

BTW compared to other European Women, that "model" is just an average girl.

[Motojass]

I met a gal from Sweden...smoken hot..said she was average looking for women there...my jaw just hit the floor. She wasn't to afraid to "express" herself either.

[Salvadore]

ok.....

[basherdrog]

thats cheap!. really cheap !

[solar]

jade raymond wouldnt be stoked...

[caffman]

there was a 360 in them pictures?

[Meus Renaissance]

What a slut. You know I always wondered, if these whores - I mean "models" - ever one day had children, imagine the shame and embarrassment they'd bring to their kids, especially at school. "I get off on your mom everyday" "Hey, much does she cost for an hour?"

It's sad that people here enjoy praise or jump on this. There was a time where women were treated with respect in regards to their sexuality; now its the complete reversal.

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

or just a woman?

[Motojass]

All of the sudden you label her a slut just because she poses nude? I think you are the one who needs to work on your views. Maybe it's not your cup of tea but everyone has the right to do what they want with their own bodies. Don't look if your so damn upset by it...Sex sells, and that's something you accept or turn away from.

[Meus Renaissance]

I call her a slut for making sexual postures with a machine as if it were man's package. The idea is to entice and excite any male that looks at these images, because it glorifies the machine and so they want to own one. But being nude and spreading herself like that, is pathetic.

I know sex sells, but you can look sexy with clothes on. I would be more appealed to such an advertisement if the woman was glamorous, but she looks like - what my friend called - "a cheap polish slut that you get for a few euro's".

[Motojass]

The poses are compromising but I doubt these ladies are giving themselves away. I on the other hand just don't mind. I guess I'm just a red blooded male pig...lol

[Guitarded]

Sluts give it away, whores get paid for it. She was paid to do this.

[SKUD]

Damn right!

[consolewar]

1.- Meus Renaissance is not gay, most gays are cool and tolerant people.
2.- Meus Renaissance needs to go out and see world and mature a hell of lot.
3.- One of their sis||daugt will turn out to be a slut trust me (Oh the irony)
4.- Sluts rule.
5.- Simon says...go out and get a slut. She will love you long time.

[Spinitus]

umm scrunches. this would've been so much cooler if she use the wii, wii mote umm.

[marcindpol]

Thats my stupid country, thanks god i do not have to live there any more!,that girl is ugly!.Dont think guys all the polish girls are like that one!

By the way CKM is like polish version of Playboy, whitch is unreadable to me!

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

I mean this chick isn't the hottest girl in the world but damn she is pretty nice.. I know 5 polish girls and none of them are hot..everywhere you go there will be hot chicks and ugly chicks except america where they're a few hotties and the rest are fat cows. I LOL atall the dudes that say this chick is ugly..i'm sure all your girlfriends are much hotter and love a guy with lots of bubbles.

[Adriokor]

Please hide your nationality from now on, you bring shame to the name,
and CKM is not Playboy lol, have you even read a playboy in your life?

[Enigma_2099]

I WANNA PLAY WITH HER!!!!

[mistertwoturbo]

yeah, XBOX360 is made for the whole family! with endless amounts of violent games, and awesome ads, just for the kids!

[pshizle]

nice

[Meus Renaissance]

This is more respectful way of advertising sex + games. They're not nude, but they look hot and their colour coordination goes well

[toughNAME]

I never thought I'd sink to your level, and say something this immature...

"What are you...gay?!"

[squelchy15]

why would we wanna look at those pics when we know those chicks cant have fun with vibration on those controllers

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

tobad the girls in the picture aren't hot. pretty maybe, but not HOT. plus they're all flat (like most asian girls) and i bet they'd lay there like a dead fish while you pork them (like ALL asian girls). thats if they didn't sh!t on your face and puke all over eachother (like a lot of asian girls do)

[KakashiDX]

"i bet they'd lay there like a dead fish while you pork them (like ALL asian girls). "

Hahhahahaha that doesn't happen

[Chubear]

Killzone was huge in Poland and it got major support from tehm so I guess MS is trying to target that FPS Killzone crowd any which way they can.

It's marketing yes but it's still very sleezy though. MS has no issues with stooping low, it's incredible how well they do it though.

[Boink]

hopefully she doesn't have a red ring of death.

STD's make people totally unattractive.:(

[Meus Renaissance]

Point is, I don't need an ugly slut opening her legs and flashing her cheap balloons with a tongue on a controller to sell me anything. It'd put me off. Geez, it's like those cards you find in telephone booths but cant believe MS would accept it

[BUKKAKALYPSE]

Just because you want all your women to be completely covered up and wearing veils when out in public doesn't mean the rest of the world feels the same way. If that's what you like, go back to Afghanistan.

EDIT: ATTN: Meus..firsdt off sorry for the rascism. track me and see that i have had arguements with people over the taliban and whatnot. I dont believe anything FOX or CNN tries to push down our throats. I dont believe that all muslims live in caves or they're all terrorists (Bush is the real terrorist). It just seems like you have a big problem with the female body thats all so i fugured you were one of those extremists. And FYI MUslims are just as sick as Christians! Religion kills. doesnt matter what side you're on! www.zeitgeistmovie.com..would you like to discuss this a little more because "sonny", my knowledge on this might not be as low as you think ? let me know i have to clean my cave at some point

Oh and if your FAITH REQUIRES someone to do something or FORCES them to do something like women wearing certain things that doesn't really promote equality bub. This woman probably got paid a lot and she WANTED to do it, wasn't REQUIRED to. SO isn't forcing women to do something worse that objectifing them? Bottom line is the naked female body is fine with me and if it's not for you get out of this thread cheif!

[Meus Renaissance]

Your comment is actually racist. My faith requires women to dress modesty (not necessarily cover their faces, thats more of a cultural thing others do). Something you'd understand; look at depictions of Mary (mother of Jesus), she's always covering her hair. It's an old tradition that became religious practice.

But that doesn't mean I can't tell what is beautiful and what is not' and that woman you see in these pictures looks fock ugly. Lol Afghanistan? Are you one of those Fox News n00bs that believe Muslims are these Taliban living in caves in Afghanistan? How sad. Don't try to offend me by your immature comments sonny. Seems like you're the one living in a cave with your lack of knowledge in these things.

[BenzMoney]

...on the whole forcing/objectifying women thing.

What's worse? A culture that finds it acceptable for a woman to make the choice of using her body and looks for her own gain, or a culture that punishes a woman by sentencing her to 6 months in prison and 200 lashes when SHE was the VICTIM of a brutal gang-rape at the hands of 4 men simply because she met in private with a man who wasn't her husband or relative?

Hmmm... tough decision.

Culture that allows nudity?

vs.

Culture that beats women for associating with people of their own choosing. ( http://www.cbc.ca/world/sto...

I'll choose the former, thanks.

[Meus Renaissance]

Firstly, are we talking about cultures here or faith? They're two different things. Secondly, those articles of women being abused is not Islamic so don't associate them to anyone other than the man who beat her because its derogative to me personally, my faith, and any other decent thinking person.

My general opinion, regardless of my faith, is that over the past few decades, in the West - a woman's sexuality has been emphasised to the point where they become objects. Which is an irony because that itself is abusive and offensive to a woman, just as much as it is reading about articles of men beating their wives or whatnot. I was raised predominantly by women so I have a passion in this regard.

Your parents generation, and even grandparents generation will tell you straight up things were different back then. People had more respect and courtesy, and shame than they do now. I see commercials for protective sex showing a boy and a girl, no older than 15. She is all smiles with her friend, as if she just gave birth, after the night. He is laughing with his mates about the same thing, getting praised and respected. I can understand the point, but why glorify sex like that? Are they actually encouraging it?

I go to pick up my little brother from school and he tells me this girl, who told him she was wearing no panties, sat on his lap. I'm like WTF? Is this how promoscious our society has become, where sexuality is not - only emphasised - but encouraged? And if not encouraged, why are there hardly any voices to speak up against it?

Now we see, not only sex, but pornographic images glorifying video games. Any kid who is looking for Xbox 360 news could come across this article and these images, what kind of example are we setting? And if the morals in our society seems to be decaying with every generation that goes by, what will my children be seeing or coming across in their lives if we already feel comfortable enough to associate sluts with video gaming?

Regarding my faith: Muslims are encouraged to stay away from desires that could lead to sin, we are in fact encouraged to abstain from pre-marital relationships never mind pre marital sex. Women must dress modestly, not showing their figure. In some cultures, like in Afghanistan, they cover their entire face but you can trace this to even beyond the existence of Islam. For the men, we too must dress modestly and avoid any flirting, or suggestive behaviour. So control over hormones is the point here. And no one forces anyone to be Muslim or not, so who is forcing women to do something? Again, don't talk to me about my faith because I'm pretty sure I'll wipe you clean off this screen in front of everyone when it comes to that.

But none of this has anything to do with my point regarding on this article. I'm not speaking as a Muslim, I'm speaking as just a regular person here who has a higher sense of morality than most it seems.

[Blitzed]

Let me preface this by saying if you want people to respect your beliefs than you should do the same and respect peoples beliefs that differ from yours. You ask "are we talking about cultures here or faith? They're two different things." Not entirely, cultures are based on the faith of its founders.

I cant believe you say your beliefs don't oppress women and then say
"Women MUST dress modestly". 'Must' being the key word. In the 'West' as you put it (as if we are all the same), we don't believe a Women 'must' do anything that a man dosn't have to do. Otherwise, its discrimination. *EDIT* (I should add that I know that this is not meant to opress women, and I know is not an intreperetation shared by everyone that is of Isalmic Faith) You say men have to 'dress modestly' as well, yet that 'dress code' is much more relaxed. Don't tell me that women share the same rights as men in Islamic dominated cultures, its just not true. Many interpretations of Islamic law say that women may not have prominent jobs, and are forbidden from working in the government. This has been a mainstream view in many Muslim nations, despite the example of Muhammad's wife Aisha, who took part in politics. (What?! A non-muslim actually knows something about Islamic law and Muslim culture!) That being said, let me say I personally nave NOTHING AGAINST ISLAMIC LAW , and although I am no expert on the subject, I believe it is widely mis-understood and know it is not meant to opress women (unfortunately many Muslims misunderstand it as well as with people of all faiths).

Show me a generation that doesn't think "it was different back then." We'll be saying it too.

We have a culture of freedom and equality in the 'West, which means just because your beliefs differ from someone, that does not make them 'sluts' or 'sinners'. People could voice the same concerns over the perceived youth culture of violence within many Islamic dominated cultures. And a person form a western culture with the same delusions of grander as yourself could think "maybe if they got laid they would just relax" but that would be ignorant wouldn't it. Just as if you think kids in the West need to find God.

You write "I'm speaking as just a regular person here who has a higher sense of morality than most". What you call morality others may call repression and oppression. Get off your pedestal, do you think your better than me because you have different beliefs?

Lastly, dude, THIS IS A GAMING SITE, keep your religious views and beliefs to yourself, and stick to the games! Funny, we actually share many of the same beliefs in that department.

*Edit*- I just wanted to add that I apologize to anyone (Including Meus) that I have offened. I almost regret the post. I just cant stand when people talk like they have a higher sense of morality than others because of thier religious beliefs (and he actaully said it!).

[Meus Renaissance]

Hi,

You need to read what I wrote from a different perspective. This isn't about individuals but Muslims in general. I said women need to dress modestly, and so do men. It is the command of God. Now, do you think a woman dressed inappropriately or revealing too much can go to Church for example? Or around the Vatican? No. She dresses modestly. Men too. But the subject of appearance is more relevant to women, then say, men in general anyway.

I'll continue but I need to make a call first..

[Blitzed]

You attacked Western culture, (despite this being a Polish ad) and questioned the moral fabric of western society. I stated that someone could do the same about Islamic culture.

You wrote "I said women need to dress modestly, and so do men. It is the command of God."

Yeah, based on the Qur'an! Guess what, we all don't follow the Qur'an! Just because you do does not make you morally superior to me or her. If she dressed this way in a church or a temple than yeah, I would question her morals, but this is an ad in a men's magazine! I doubt she ever intends on walking into a church wearing nothing but a controller.

*Edit* removed quote-didn't feel right about it

My point is that these are YOUR beliefs, so do not push them onto others, and don't persecute those who don't share them. (In fact, there are many women who feel empowered by their sexuality)

By the way, why did you look at the post if your moral standards are so high? It was quite openly stated that there would be nudity.

Stick to games, and please, go preach your religion somewhere else, while I respect your opinions on both I only care about hearing about one. You're not better than us, you just think you are.

Sorry to everyone for the posts arguing religion, if it isn't against the rules of N4G it should be. I am going to play Warhawk and COD4 and try to forget all of this...anyone who wants to join me my PSN ID is SATAN (joking!)

[cmrbe]

Lighten up man. I respect your religion and culture but this is not as bad as you think. To be honest i think the whole thing is hilarious and comments i read so far proves it. Come on man roll with us but if not i do respect that as well

[squelchy15]

that meus is a bit of a homo, so what do u say when u see lads mags in shops?

[Meus Renaissance]

Lol

[Tyler Durden]

i bet Miss Ania has more plastic than that controller shes holding

[FF7numba1]

dOES IT COME WITH THE girl? no buy if it don't.

[DarkSniper]

This concludes my theory. This is nothing more than an act of desperation on Micro$oft's aggressive marketing campaign of Halo 3. They have reduced themselves to sexist procedures and scantily clad women.

This is a disrespect and a slap in the face to all of the female gamers who own XBOX 360's. This shows that Micro$oft lacks the knowledge of the consensus of Men and Women gamers. It clearly gives of the impression that the majority of gamers are men and women are nothing more than sex toys.

To all of my female gamers, please let your voices be heard against this sexist campaign funded by Micro$oft. Their business practices can be terminated by the voices of all of the gamers who have decency. Sony has never alienated any of their gaming population and I would advise all gamers of each gender to purchase the more superior system which is PS3.

$niper

[aba]

F**kin hypocrite. Where the hell were you when sony had half-naked japanese girls crawling all over each other holding psp's? So its ok for sony to use women in their advertising but not MS? You are full of sh*t sir, good day.

[solar]

i would take any of the chicks in Meus Renaissance ps3 picture anyday. i have a thing for asians :D and not the ones BUKKAKALYPSE was describing.

and Meus, its a totally different culture man. europe is very friendly in their nudity and sexuality. american's are prudes imo. we will give 11 yr olds guns in daddies' supervision, but we better not let them see a boob! which is more dangerous?

[DevastationEve]

not that Halo3 needed it anyway.

She actually has been THE hottest chick I've seen on the net today. And that's saying A LOT when we're talking about the internet! Makes me happy that I bought the game. Beat it in maybe 6-7days, and it still has a lasting appeal...

oh SH*T! Bioshock!
OoooHHHH SSSHHHH*T Mass Effect!!!!

(drop Halo3 RIGHT NOW and pick up those two)

[DevastationEve]

Bukkakalypse???? if my grammar is correct, the root word of your screen name is QUITE A BIT offensive to females. And describes a "practice" so to speak that both objectifies and humiliates them.

So...

[OOG FunK]

This is what I call damn good advertising lol

[Enigma_2099]

... How desperate do you have to be to go THIS far to promote a console?

[Bubble Buddy]

can i have that 360? =)

[MIAMIFROST]

just look at the boobies!
