Modern Warfare 2 promo raises Internet ire

Try not to offend anyone in the comments, eh?
Will Modern Warfare 2 please just release and stop dominating every minute of my day with its endless controversies?! There's only a week to go, but Infinity Ward have still managed to pack in another one, this time an uproar over a trailer riddled with inflammatory language.

The Fight Against Grenade Spam trailer was produced by an external contractor as a humorous spoof on the worst of gamer behaviour. Not everyone liked the joke; it received such negative reactions that Infinity Ward removed the promo from YouTube and admitted it had gone "a bit too far".

Attentive readers will have already noted the acronym in the name of the fictional organisation supposedly behind the trailer; another popular online slur term also made an appearance.

Luckily, Infinity Ward seemed pretty happy to use the "mute" function in this case.
