Obama Propaganda in NHL 2009

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the new NHL 2009 game, but I own for for xbox 360 and play it regularly. while browsing a hockey blog site a read normally, they pointed out an interesting detail in the game. This is what they said


"

They recently made everyone download a "roster update" before going into the section of the game where you meet with team members to play a game online. Roster updates = propaganda. We've seen ads for Subway on the boards, as well. What a joke. Quizno's is the choice of a new generation. We just want to know how much Barack Obama's campaign paid for this advertising.

At first I didnt believe it, so I tested it. I played as Carolina vs Florida (which is the teams shown in the pictures) and played both in Florida and in Carolin and I never saw this advertisment on the boards. So i went online and downloaded the roster update and sure enough, there was the Obama ad on the board. Has it really gone this far that they're trying to us video games to sway voters? Does he really think it's going to help him? I personally think this is just absurd. Here's the link to check it out for yourself. Its about 3/4 of the way down the page. thepensblog.blogspot.com...

he has brought advertising space from xbox that shows up in several games

smart advertising really, advertise where its gona make a differance, its one way to reach young voters thats better then flyers and tv broadcasts

Burnout Paradise has Obama billboards




NHL 2009:

wow this guy is everywhere.. just really goes to show whose in touch with the young voters though. You wont be seeing Mccains face in any video games, thats for sure.

I presume OP will be referring to advertisements by McCain as 'propaganda' also? It's advertising, nothing more, nothing less. No conspiracy here, just making people aware of him and his policies.. as if people were not already. What may be propaganda is the slander spread by some sections of the republican party concerning Obama.
