A lot of you know about misleading titles. We have plenty of them here. Well one 'misleading' YouTube ad stirred up some panic recently!
Today, an ad was at the top of the YouTube page (where the advertisements are) with a picture of Hilary Clinton and the subtitle, “Breaking News, North Korea Attacks”. YouTube has a rep for putting some late breaking news on its homepage so a lot of users did take this seriously. After they clicked on this thought to be "news", they saw it was a trailer for Homefront and said some comments like:

“I find the front page advertisement for “HomeFront” on Youtube to be offensive. I thought North Korea had actually attacked. Misleading.”
“not sure if the ‘North Korea Attacks’ Youtube banner ad for #Homefront is the most tasteful use of advertising i’ve ever seen.”

Here's what the ad was trying to promote.

I'm not going to lie, I did think this was a bit funny!

It's not worth it, multiplayer is OK, single player doesn't live to the hype so far.
