Obama is advertising on Burnout Paradise. Pretty cool if you ask me.

is this for real? I'm happy for you that you like it, but I want that shit to stay out of games, when I play a game I wanna get away from the real world!

Advertising a drink or some other commercial shit in a game is ok I guess, but c'mon!

heres some more info on the matter, it apears not all versions of the game has it so people in the UK and Europe etc will not happen, here is a quote i found, its also in other EA titles Such as NFS Prostreet


Quote:
With the race for the US' next president in full swing, presidential hopeful Barack Obama has taken his campaign straight to the heart of gamers by advertising in select EA titles. The ads started showing up recently on billboards and other advertising spots that carry dynamic content in a smattering of EA titles, including Burnout Paradise, Madden 09, NASCAR 09, NHL 09, Need for Speed ProStreet, Skate and more.


and here are the states in America where you will see them

states are said to be Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Montana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio and Wisconsin.

pretty cool how there only putting it out to those area's as its no relevance to countries outside of the U.S so don't worry gamers from the other countries its only some U.S states that have the add appearing in the mentioned games

well I guess that makes sense then... but still, I understand advertising other games and stuff, but this is kinda going a little too far for me, I guess in some ways you could argue it makes the game more realistic having things in it that reflect whats going on in the real world.

BUT!

advertising is everywhere, I can't even watch a tv show without them stupid commercials with the "get this crappy wallpaper of some playboy plastic chick for only 4.95

+4.95 per week after sign up until cancellation

Hmmm, maybe I'm going off topic! But where will it go next?

you know I get really worried about America. I saw an interview with John Mccain the other day stating he was going to "Kick Obama's ass at the next debate." Now, this guy is applying for the most powerful position in the world. What kind of way is that to talk? Honestly these presedential campaigns are a fucking farse.

He's trying to gain the respect of midwestern people who speak that way. Believe me, all decisions and sentences that come out of these people were calculated and written by dozens of campaign staff members to secure the electorate..

It's a cold, machine-like process... one that I'm less and less interested in participating in :?

I think the whole game is a waste of money anyway so I'm happy that fuckface is in there on a billboard. :roll: Will never see that face of him in the games I like to play. I never liked big names in games, that don't have fuck all to do with the actual game. Coca Cola here, Sony there, macDonalds up there. Fuck that.

What's next? Just like dvds, you start your game up and HAVE to watch 2 minutes of commercial tellsell waste before you can actually get access to the main menu. Or 'stop pirating games warnings'. I could see this all happening. :?

Bullshit. Fuck Obama, all presidents bought their fucking status. I don't support that.

Don't speak bad about the Patriots! (MGS4 reference in case you don't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

err I mean Presidents! HAHA!

If you're mad Mexicanfan you need to take a chill pill... Relax..

To me, (TO ME! OK?)

The President (whoever) is just a puppet with a whole team of fucks behind them orchestrating their every move and speech.

What's Obama going to change? The world runs on greed, and war is a money making machine, that aint ever going to change.
