* A televised ad for the UsefulNotes/XBox from 2002 has a woman in labor push out her baby boy with such force that the infant goes flying out the window and over the countryside at supersonic speed, [[RapidAging aging rapidly]] as he goes. Within thirty seconds, he's an old man, at which he plummets to Earth (with a StukaScream) to slam into a grave in a cemetery. [=XBox's=] moral of the ad? "Life is short. Play more." Can be watched on Website/YouTube [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hu_0GdXW904 here.]]
