Quick Note: Obama Now Advertising On Video Games

This is great, a little weird, but great. The Obama ad is featured as a billboard in the game Burnout. I’m not a fan of the game. I don’t want a whole bunch of angry Burnout fans commenting on the fact that I think the game is over-rated, great graphic though. Anyways, I must say that I think the Obama team has all their advertising bases covered. Obama is the maverick with the new ideas. This is kind of good, because most gamers can spend hours gaming even into the morning…I call those people nerds. But, this billboard will remind them to vote, either early so they can spend Nov. 4th playing games to more or it just reminds them to get their asses up and vote.

I don’t necessarily think gamers needed to be persuaded to vote for Obama. They were always with Obama, even during the primary. Hillary Clinton represented censorship to us gamers, she was one of the few who almost tried to start the war on videos games. It didn’t end up in blood shed though, so don’t worry. In the end it was a tie…bipartisanship Obama is cool, and McCain doesn’t know what Xbox 360 is, and probably don’t know what Nintendo is…even though every respected American should know what that is. But, I don’t think most gamers are going to be looking at the virtual Obama billboard when trying to win a race, they should have thought ahead and advertised in Grand Theft Auto…never-mind Im sure the lunatic fringe would accuse him of palling around with immigrants that commit crimes in New York.

Here’s the link, and thanks to my fellow Final Fantasy Digg.com friend for sending the link to me

##UPDATE##

OK maybe as a gamer Im being a little nerdy here, but I can’t help it. Do you play hockey, baseball, basketball, football, racing, FREAKING GUITAR HERO!!!, well Obama is also in those video games. I must say, Guitar Hero…very savvy and innovative. Guitar Hero has to be one of the most popular games every. Click here to see the picks.

There is no doubt about it Sen Obama is trying to cover all bases….shows how “IN TOUCH” he is compared to how “OUT OF TOUCH” John McCain is!!!
I find it laughable how the Republicans constantly say Sen Obama has no experience or leadership skills…here is a fine example!!!
Sen Obama knocks spots off John McCain at every turn with his campaigning and his organizational skills….he is one brilliant…soon to be President.

I can see it now, Obama wants to be in your house, your wallet in your HEAD,and maybe in the toilet paper you use to wipe your you know what, and maybe those piss refreshners you see when you take a piss.
