Oct 15 2008FAKE!: In-Game Obama Political Ads

Apparently the Obama party actually did pay for in-game advertising in Burnout Paradise for the Xbox 360. But now, skilled Photoshopper Paul Tassi has gone and made eight more (FAKE) in-game Obama advertisements. That's GTA there, but hit the jump for some Portal, WoW, Gran Turismo, CoD, and MGS action. They were all very well done. But come election day, remember: regardless of who you vote for, they'll suck ass as president compared to me. I am the L337 presidentiary!
Hit it for the rest.







Eight Other Video Games Obama Should be Advertising In [collegeotr]
Thanks to Paul, the man behind the iron Photoshop. And John, for, well, being freaking handsome.

9. boxofwine - October 15, 2008 7:34 PM
The best photoshopped Obama was when hillary's camp/supporters ran an ad and actually darkened Obama so he would appear "blacker." Classic!
Now I guess Obama is going for the iconic stoner vote.

You know... this is actually a great idea!
damnit... you know, once those 30-something loosers get inspired by something they buy all the expansion packs.
.. no, wait....
13. Sharpie - October 15, 2008 7:45 PM
I cant bulieve thes are reel! How much Oboma for puts those in ALL thes games??? Emailing me wit number of $$
14. LeftRIGHTLeft - October 15, 2008 7:47 PM
Obama is really doing some creative marketing though.. you have to give that to him at least.. has anyone noticed the Obama 3 hour informercial running practically nonstop on satellite?
15. No.6 - October 15, 2008 8:05 PM
He also has purchased 30 minutes of airtime on at least one major network late in the month. He will have the last word cause he's a mother f***ing P.I.M.P. and he's gonna be an awesome president.
16. No.6 - October 15, 2008 8:06 PM
@3 No, I don't. Just got "lucky" I guess. I'd gladly give you the firstitude as it is meaningless to me
17. boxofwine - October 15, 2008 8:07 PM
Infomercials are like the most original thing ever.
Every time I see Ron Popeil on tv, I'm like "that’s the freshest thing I've seen all day!"
and then I laugh boisterously before making a ham and egg sandwich with my ham and egger-matic.

I thought it was interesting that in GTA IV, (as found on the official site), there's a guy running for mayor named Bryce Dawkins...look at the dude's picture...pretty much Obama. That's without photoshopping. Also, I heard that the statue of liberty is actually Hillary (by "heard," I mean I heard it and went to see for myself...looks like a younger, less scary, happier version of her).

#13, stop being such a f***ing moron.
GW mentioned several times that those are FAKE pictures.
Though I don't know why I'm bothering. You obviously can't read.
Or spell.
23. Thumperchica - October 15, 2008 10:46 PM
This would be a perfect marketing strategy for a socialist (read OBAMA), seeing as how it would get out to people that played video games all day while the rest of us worked.
24. Sharpie - October 15, 2008 11:11 PM
wow, even my imposter does a better job at misspelling words then I do. now thats impressive! haha you guys try to hard. sometimes its funny to read what you say rather then say something about you. pathedic.
25. Uberdork - October 16, 2008 12:50 AM
This are all right! Shadows and everything!
The don't seem photoshopped at all!
(i've never seen anything like it in NEVER BACK DOWN. Not in one scene....)
p.s. Where are you Daisy???

27. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 1:35 AM
The thing that makes me mad about this is WE are funding this by paying for the games. We pay 50-60 dollars per game, and still, we're getting political crap thrown at us. If your going to use video games as grounds for your campaign, at least drop the game price.
And what happens when we all find out Obama is a evil robot sent to destroy earth. Then we'll have that sweet reminder in all our favorite video games

@31: Probably because that's the language they speak where those guys are supposedly attacking.

35. Daisy - October 16, 2008 8:49 AM
Fake!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell because the shadows are all wrong. It looks like these Games were running the unreleased "never back down" mod.
I can't wait to see Obama as president. Much like I've anticipated new windows releases!
Obama/Palin 08!

43. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:04 AM
LSD........do you have a home? do you have a family? do you have a wife? girlfriend? job? life? From the way you come off sometimes it seems like you have non of that
44. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:06 AM
What do you mean?
45. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:08 AM
Sharpie, you must have a little physic power cause you got 3 of them right. I have no wife, i have no life, and i have no girlfriend. A home and job i have. I live with my mommy and i work for her. i manage all the money she takes in from prostituting. Yea my life is a little shitty but so is the underpants ive been wearing all year.
46. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:10 AM
oh huh but Pleese MR.deisel. I can still be loveing you a lott better. I am shur how you wantting me to be Kising youre butshole. ;) THanks you for Dongy KONG games!!
47. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:10 AM
But the nice thing about having a whore for a mother is that you get sweet discounts.
48. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:11 AM
huh? you f***.
49. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:12 AM
before you try to impose me LSD you should change the name
50. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:13 AM
look at you, cant get anything right today huh LSD? to f***ed up? have a rough night? you seem a little tense. hahaha
51. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:14 AM
@48, only one of those last three was me, and it was #47.
I don't know why people like to imposter me so much.
I don't try to come across as cocky or anything, I guess people just take my humor way too seriously
52. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:17 AM
Deisel. Don't be mad. the more your impersonated the more people are thinking of you and how f***in sorry they feel for you.
53. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:21 AM
So are you done impostering me? Because I seriously just finished having a sweet crying session. But I'm not really in the mood to cry again at least for another couple hours.
So who wants me to buy them a Donkey Kong Dong Washer kit? Just click on my link to have 12,000 of them automatically sent to your house for free. The instant you click the link, the shipment will appear at you doorstep.
54. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:21 AM
I'm not mad you ass hat, I'm just confused cause i woke up with a bleeding hemroid and i have no Preparation H
55. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:23 AM
@52, Haha, I'm not mad. It's funny to watch other people get pissed at me for just saying stupid shit like everyone else.
I just play along, and yes, the DK washer kit also comes with the Super Monkey Ball scrubbers!
56. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:26 AM
For a noobie, I sure have been taking first quite a lot. I'd say I fit in pretty quick, didn't take long to mingle my way in. And I kept my original name. and i refuse to change.
57. Thumperchica - October 16, 2008 11:27 AM
Boys, behave. *SMACK* You're aren't allowed to be Douchenozzles until the first post of the new day, which by my guess will be at 11:58am.
I have a major meeting to go to... and I don't wanna... I wonder if I can use waiting for the new Geekologie post to get out of it...
58. Daisy - October 16, 2008 11:28 AM
impostering is fun. especially when other imposters join in. and especially when you mess up and put the wrong link and it causes one to think the other was the imposter due to a failure to change the name because impostering is a serious business and it can seriously damage people lives if not done correctly. Therefore, all the imposters should seriously be careful and take it their imposter job very seriously and cause as much serious confusion and imposterization as possible. To go on reading this would be a serious error on your part for there are serious impostering techniques that will be revealed that may be seriously far too confusing for you to even grasp the concept of what I am even about to begin to talk about.

59. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:31 AM
It starts out as impostering online, then you start to feel the need for something more, so you start stealing people's identitys....then you start cloning yourself, and then you start cloning others....
Impostering just doesn't lead to anything good. Be yourself. If you're too f***ing scared to say what you have to say using your own screen name, then seriously, you might want to try making some friends, so you're more secure with who you are in the real world, and not on geekologie.
and Daisy, I'm cheating on you
60. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:32 AM
Thumper......... shut the f*** up. from the way that the dollar is decreasing in value would mean your 2 cents is worthless. no one cares.
61. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:32 AM
For a noobie, I sure have been taking it up the mud pipe quite a lot. I'd say your penis fits in pretty quick, didn't take long to mingle my way in your BH either. And I kept pounding away. and i refuse to shave my scrotum.
62. Thumperchica - October 16, 2008 11:35 AM
@60 - Listen up you cockmongering scabknuckled snailquale piece of excrement! I love you too. *hugs*

@63, were you talking to yourself?
65. Freddy K - October 16, 2008 11:39 AM
sharpie.... thats not exactly the best way to measure "fitting in".
LSD, Its both hilarious and frustrating to see you impersonated so much. Too bad the imposters are such slap-asses its completely obvious they are faking it. Either that or you are doing it yourself and are one truly f''ed up human being.
66. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:39 AM
BRB i need to take a huge shit! Thumper. wanna come with me so i can splat scat all over your hair and t***.
67. Thumperchica - October 16, 2008 11:44 AM
How about you just do it on my hairy mant***? Ok that's just gross. It's true, but it's still pretty damn gross. Right guys?
68. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:44 AM
Listen Freddy K. this is the first time I've seen your name in here so if i were you I'd watch what you say. Since I've been here I've been:
Greeted
made fun of
impersonated
adopted by LSD
and
left comments in every new post. what else must I do Mr . Freddy K that would like to remain anonymous? you don't even have a link to a page. get a life and go back to the toys R Us comment feeds you baby!
69. Thumperchica - October 16, 2008 11:44 AM
*Cleveland voice* That's NAAAASSSTTTYYYYYY
70. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:48 AM
Sharpie my boy, Freddy K has actually been here longer than you have, so make sure your shit is straight before you go spouting it like some fountain of fecal matter.
71. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:50 AM
lol i just let the foutian out. and if hes been here longer why does he only add his 2 cents once a month?? hes not loyal like all of you guys, and me. i will never back down and remain loyal to the geekologie geeks, Freddy K can suck my dick 69 style so i can fart in his face
72. LSDiesel - October 16, 2008 11:52 AM
Maybe Freddy K only has time to check it once a month because he has a life. I don't know, that's just my two euros (hopefully they're still worth something)
73. Sharpie - October 16, 2008 11:54 AM
LSD that makes a lot of sense but i highly doubt it. my life tends to be very very very busy and i still find time to come here while working to bullshit with you guys, i actually care
