let me guess
all you guys that are not buying the game will also stop watching tv, reading newspapers, watching movies, or anything else right. arfter all those all have ads in thim. if you avoid a game because of one ad which you can ignore then boycott all media.
onestly you amicans can be such a bunch of retards at times. looks like obama has the only brain.
now what do you have to say
umsima wa umshimi wa

I think its kinda cool actually. Im for neither Obama or McCain, but seeing as how its a totally irrelevant part of the game that really has no bearing on anything, its a neat touch of realism and gives the title a tie to the times.

I think EVERYONE is missing the point. (a couple of points actually)

1) If you sell advertising, as this game does, it defrays the cost and makes the game cheaper. i.e. you get a better game for less money.

2) If you sell advertising, just like television, radio, magazines etc., you are required by law to accept advertising from ANYONE who is willing to pay for it (with a few exceptions such as for cigarettes), whether it is from Coke, Pepsi, or Obama. You can’t pick and choose whose money you will accept.

3) The reason McCain or the RNC haven’t put up adds on games too is only because they didn’t think of it. (and probably also they don’t have as much money this election year)

Boycot whoever you want, but advertising and product placement are here to stay.

Unless these gaming companys see an adverse affect from running the ads, losing a few people who don’t want to see the adds will not stop them from running them. If you are paying that much attention the bill board, then you are not really playing the game anyway. Besides, what if you owned the company and you had a few people telling you to remove the ads because they don’t like you running them and it is decision between running the ads and say, 2 million dollars? You can’t tell me you wouldn’t run the ads.

This isn’t a question about it hurting someone. It’s just about the fact that you don’t like it. I don’t like political ads on tv. But I’m not going to start writing CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and everyone else out there running the ads and ask them to remove them because I don’t want to see the adds on tv. Please, it’s not going to happen.

I still haven’t heard you complaint about Yahoo, Interent Explorer, Mozilla, etc. about their ads.

Xbox is owned by Microsoft, Microsoft owns MSNBC which is the most one-sided new channel in the world. You can appeal to young voters with out postering Barack’s big ears all over your game. I would want to see wrinkly McCain’s mug either. I’m glad I still play Colecovision.
