Prince of Persia ad too violent?

This is hilarious... and ridiculous. Some Canadian mum has complained that a Prince of Persia ad found on buses is too frightening for her kid. She also said that her kid was too scared of riding buses after seeing the ads. The ad features the bloodied, sinister-looking prince holding a machete-like sword in an attack position. And although no pistols are used in the game, a similar ad features him holding a gun. The ads have since been removed. The funniest bit has to be a quote by one of the bus passengers.
"They should be more careful what they're advertising because transit caters to kids as well," said Transit Windsor bus rider Betty Riley. "And they wonder why our jails are full and where these kids get these ideas from."
