AND MCCAIN IS ADVERTISING ON 'I LOVE LUCY'

Barack Obama Is President of Video Games

Is this the one where you get points for killing hookers?Some stoners were playing this video game called Burnout Paradise (of course), and they noticed a funny billboard in the video game. Yes, that’s your Barack Obama, telling the Xbox crowd about how people sometimes vote, for candidates, in these things called elections. But there is no way to actually vote within the video game, YET. Maybe next time! [Jalopnik]

    Tomorrow: McCain rolls out an ad where Mario and Luigi are Patriotic Americans fighting to rescue America’s virtue from a Terrorist Gorilla wielding flaming barrels of mass destruction.

  2. SayItWithWookies says at 1:05 am, October 14th, 2008

    To be fair, there’s a McCain ad in the version you can play on your shortwave radio.

  3. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 1:08 am, October 14th, 2008

    Nothing beats my McCain/Palin twelve sided die.

  4. HuskyMescan says at 1:08 am, October 14th, 2008

    Yeah, i saw it the other day when i was playin it. In fact, you get more points for ramming cars and pickups off the road if they have McCain/Palin bumper sticks. Hahaha…video game humor. Man, i need a vagina right about now.

  5. StrangelyBrown says at 1:21 am, October 14th, 2008

    McCain, on the other hand, thinks “Xbox” is another word for what he calls his wife!

    Heynow!

    IN TEH TANKS!!!

  7. InsidiousTuna says at 1:30 am, October 14th, 2008

    I may need to buy this game now.

  8. villageatrois says at 1:33 am, October 14th, 2008

    Obama had to respond after McCain bought all the center squares on bingo cards.

  9. Barack Like Me says at 1:38 am, October 14th, 2008

    I’ve played every version of Burnout there is, except for Paradise City because I don’t have the right console.

    But I’ve been leaning towards the Wii more than the PS3 with the xb running a distant 3rd.

    Now you mutherfluckers have thrown this into the goddamn mix.

  10. The two campaigns’ competence/incompetence ratio is approaching infinity and threatening to go all UNDEFINED on us.

  11. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 2:00 am, October 14th, 2008

    Who needs video games when McCain’s already cornered the Lincoln Log and the hoop-and-stick markets?

  12. This just simply put “shows off his famousness!”

  13. CooterMarie says at 2:31 am, October 14th, 2008

    Gotta love it. Us gamers are mobilizing- because fuckwad biblethumpers are trying to blame all the violence in the world on games (nevermind that most gamers are over 30), and attempting to take away our constitutional right to bear video-game arms. This is especially ironic to me, because this is the same base who are the ones who are threatening violence at the Palin/McCain rallies.

    I am one of those rare women who love me a violent vidja game- I think mowing down people in GTA 4 is what keeps me so darn nice in my regular life.

    Found this kind of interesting: http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/207372/video-game-execs-prefer-obama-to-mccain/

    They tried to sneak in a Hot Coffee mini-game featuring Palin, but no matter how the players diddled the buttons, virtual Sarah would gnaw off the player’s penis quicker than a hungry pitbull locked in with a room full of plumb, gravy-soaked infants.

  15. facehead says at 3:11 am, October 14th, 2008

    If you go back and hit up up down down right right left right left, you can access the secret ad for Jimmy Carter in Pong.

  16. gurukalehuru says at 3:19 am, October 14th, 2008

    Brilliant ad placement. We will win the Paultard vote.

  17. gurukalehuru: I thought they were all playing MMORPGs shouting about fiat currency and the doubloon standard

  18. Jukesgrrl says at 4:20 am, October 14th, 2008

    Wii are voting for Barry. Unless they find out wii registered through ACORN.

  19. Sabre_Justice says at 4:43 am, October 14th, 2008

    And this is the kind of game where you would make every effort to send that sweet car of yours flying through every billboard available.

    Barack Obama: Condoning dangerously awesome driving.

  20. gliberal says at 6:00 am, October 14th, 2008

    Apropos of nothing, how much longer do I need to see W sitting on the crapper? Is this some kind of new bailout?

  21. in my computer chess game white always goes first. that is just not fair.

    btw, the score of last night’s giant game was buried in the wapo this am. the msm obviously is not doing it’s job.

    ,,,,,.

  22. Burnout Paradise also has a free motorcycle expansion.

  23. AngryBlakGuy says at 7:22 am, October 14th, 2008

    …you would think that in a game where you get points for crashing expensive vehicles you would see a lot more WALNUTS! billboards instead?!

  24. Can you do Vertical Takedowns on McCorpse in his F-350?

  25. Robbertjan says at 7:26 am, October 14th, 2008

    Can you also drive a tank?

  26. 4tehlulz says at 7:29 am, October 14th, 2008

    naveed: It should already be undefined, as whatever Obama’s competence would be compared to McCain’s zero.

  27. Tommy Says Soooo says at 8:18 am, October 14th, 2008

    Feh, I’ll be impressed when they come out with Hoors over Hanoi where you risk getting shot down over Nam and your cell mate, prematurely gray, wants teh Ho Chi Minh Trail. Someone get GTA on the phone there’s some tort-, er Gitmo mild re-edjimicaton to be done.

  28. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 8:22 am, October 14th, 2008

    naveed: fortunately elitist math doesn’t correspond to the real world

  29. Cape Clod says at 8:55 am, October 14th, 2008

    “All your vote are belong to us.”

    Some one had to say it.

  30. 2druk2phluq says at 8:56 am, October 14th, 2008

    You go back in time to prevent the Obaminator from being born, which is easy, but then Randy Scheuneman congratulates you personally, Sara Connor gets her head blown off, and you figure out you were duped. Curse you, Walnuts!
    The Obaminator comes back new and improved, but Michael Biehn’s career is over.
    That’s when I ran out of Doritos and M&M’s, so I don’t know how it ends.

  31. Hopey dont play that game says at 9:02 am, October 14th, 2008

    Video game? You mean like a “talkie”? Or like those Spaced invaders?

  32. Street Organizer says at 9:19 am, October 14th, 2008

    Barry should also advertise on large penises. Then supply the huge penis owner with a bottle of Belvedere, 1 tab of cialis, a Barry mask and a vote by mail ballot. And then, after hours and hours of mindblowing buttsex with the stranger in the Barry mask, I may be persuaded to fill out the ballot and put in the mailbox. ONLY THEN.

  33. DieOnTheTurnpike says at 9:34 am, October 14th, 2008

    I’ve been seeing McCain/Palin “Mavericks for the Western Territories” banners in Oregon Trail.

  34. Cranky Little Camperette says at 12:41 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Special Agent Jack Mehoff: Sadly I rolled a “Palin” for Intelligence and a “McCain” for Charisma.

    Crap.

  35. dannygutters says at 1:00 pm, October 14th, 2008

    I think this is temporary, If I remember correctly, advertisers can purchace billboard space in the game (you probably have to be online to see it). It’s like that weekend of the Gold Biscut Flour Hour McCain Sponsored on the AM radio.

  36. DangerousLiberal says at 1:15 pm, October 14th, 2008

    I think McCain just got pwnd.

  37. CivicHoliday says at 1:45 pm, October 14th, 2008

    McCain’s trying to work out a deal for an ad in Wii Fit - Shuffleboard edition

  38. dzymzlzy says at 1:48 pm, October 14th, 2008

    Wii are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

  39. Why is he grimacing like that?

  40. Sabre_Justice says at 5:08 am, October 15th, 2008

    mcreigh: He knows he’s about to get a car in the face.
