Obama Advertising In Video Games

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Barack Obama's presidential campaign has begun advertising in video games like Guitar Hero and Madden NFL 09 in the weeks before the election. What do you think?

Traci Patterson,
Garment Inspector
"Why bother with ads? When I vote, I already feel like I'm in the most exciting game ever."

Doug Laramie,
Systems Analyst
"Interesting. It did look like a couple of Resident Evil zombies I wasted were wearing McCain-Palin T-shirts."

Charles Kirk,
Computer Consultant
"Politics has no place in video games, unless it is in my favorite Xbox game, Wizards & Kings, where there is both politics and wizardry."
