Yes, that's a digital billboard in a video game on XBox Live.

Good idea imo. Better than seeing an AMP energy drink ad (which I am sure is on the flip side of the billboard) or something to that affect.

Reading the replies on that link are amazing as well :) TY KLRAZ

That's an odd image--Obama with a goatee?

Microphone?

Yeah, but it's positioned and cropped in a way that it makes it look like a goatee.

On initial glance at the pic, I was all set to ask what kind of car and where can I get one, but then I saw it was from a game. :(

Dashed my dreams before they even got damp.

From that angle it looks like Obama is grimacing at first glance. Really good idea by them though. McCain's response will be a sticker on the side of a Pacman machine.

Its probably just a shadow and the blacks have gotten crushed in the trip from the XBox screen to computer to recompressed for the web. Same as the undercarriage of the car.

Man... its been a while since I've played any racing games (not really any on modern consoles), but damn that car looks real.

And Seth Myers, on SNL News, reported that John McCain has also now joined in this new form of advertising, and is posting billboards in MRI machines.


I laughed. :p
