We need some kind of "Adblock for games" project. As a private project a few years ago I managed to replace the textures holding the adverts in the Xbox 1 version of Burnout 3, which was possible using a hacked Xbox. Unfortunately we cannot (yet) change the content on Xbox 360 discs as they are signed.
I read TFA but I couldn't work out if the adverts were stored on the game disc or sent over the network. I suspect the answer is both - there will be a default set of adverts on the disc for people who don't connect their Xbox 360 to the Internet and new ones will be sent over the network for those that do. For network ads it may be possible to block or redirect them at a router level.

"Do Not Steal Mac OS X (DSMOS)"? Where's the "N"? Surely DSMOS actually stands for "Do Steal Mac OS"!

Woah, those slides are dense. Someone needs to learn that Less==More when it comes to presentations.
