    Viral Marketing Comes to XBox Live?

    livemessages.jpgI turned my 360 on last night and had a new message. Someone with the tag "Control Boy" sent me the following text:

    "Oh my god! I just saw Mission Impossible 3! AMAZING! Best action movie I've ever seen! SUPER ARTISTIC! Sooo not your everyday cheesy action flick. You gotta see this movie! Acting, story, special effects, fabulous. EVerything fabulous. I love this movie!"
    Now, I realize I likely have no power here to do anything. I don't even know if this was MS-approved (although since MI3 stuff has been all over XBL Marketplace lately, it wouldn't surprise me). However, it seems a little strange that I pay for XBL and I'm still getting ads. If this really is MS approved, I have a feeling we're in for some clogged message inboxes down the road. Keep the ads from the crappy box-office disappointments off of my pay service!
