The other week, we brought you a storyabout an Obama ad present on a billboard inBurnoutParadise. While we were skeptical about it, it has beenproven true. This morning, I was greeted with the same ad in another game. This time, it’sMadden NFL 09.
The ad is the same one that was featured in theBurnoutbillboard, except inMadden, it appears on drive summaries in the lower right-hand corner. The ad reads, “Early voting has begun,” and at the bottom features Obama’s campaign logo and his name.
After theBurnoutpiece, I found myself wondering the impact that political ads can actually have. Have any of you been swayed to vote early, or consider Obama over that other candidate? Do you consider this intrusive? Personally, I enjoy this ad much more than a Nike one because it at least has a message that is important. I like sneakers and all, but politics and blueberry pie are higher on my priority list.
