Barack Obama has begun advertising on billboards within the virtual world of an online video game in what appears to be a first for a presidential campaign. Players of the online racing video game Burnout Paradise on the Xbox 360 Live network noticed billboards promoting Barack Obama and the website VoteForChange.com
This is particularly brilliant in that John McCain, who has no idea how to get online, will probably never even learn this is out there...

yes im sure obama played the game or is on xl all the time and picked it up as a good ad opportunity
^i'm picking up on the sarcasm you're laying down.
it's not that obama is an avid gamer or something, it's that he relates to a different demographic than McCain- young people. and let's just say for a second that, no he doesn't relate to kids and gamers, he's just trying to get the young people's vote. well, hey, at least he's trying.
"Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

OK then, the campaign as a whole -- and probably the administration that would follow -- is more in touch with the youth of America than McCain's.
I honestly didn't intend to make a grand political point with this post, though -- I just thought it was a clever, out of the box way to reach younger voters. I'm all for creativity.
