This weekend we reported that Infinity Ward has posted up what was supposed to be a humorous video promoting their upcoming shooter Modern Warfare 2. As we mentioned in our post on Saturday, the video itself wasn't an issue but the "sponsor" of the video, mentioned at the end, has an acronym that some have considered to be homophobic.

As expected a number of people have taken offense to the video including freelance journalist Mitchell Dyer who "tweeted" that "it was so poorly handled/executed that it looks derogatory." Infinity Ward's community manager Robert Bowling then responded on his own Twitter account, stating, "I agree. I think the core gag is great, the end is a bit too far from the intent of the joke & can appreciate the concerns. Pulled."
