Oct 20 2008My Turn, My Turn!: McCain's In Game Ads
Remember last week's Obama in-game ads? Well now it's McKillaCain's turn, and he's gone with a different approach. Namely using old games instead of modern ones. Like Obama's, the ads were professionally photoshopped by Paul Tassi, and are a throwback to a simpler time. A time when gas was cheap, video games were basic, and I had no idea what my penis was for. I think it's a coffee stirrer.
Hit the jump for a bunch more.
If McCain Started Buying Ad Space in Video Games Too [collegeotr]
Thanks Paul, now Photoshop me and a dinosaur. You know, doing it.

These are just kind of sad in comparison. This is "professional" editing and the others were amateurs?

A coffee stirrer? The GW is a masochist... ouch!
These are funny, but not as good as the Obama mock ups...

Different approach? Looks like the same approach to me, only with a lower budget.

the doom shotgun should have been a cheney add...
9. mamadough - October 20, 2008 12:40 PM
i was just playing DOOM the other day. if i was playing as mccain, though, i would probably just let the monsters eat me.

@4, Sharpie, if I hear any more attitude out of you, your uncle diesel is gonna take you for a little trip behind the woodshed....
And I did like the obama ones better. Except the starfox one, where you play as Fox McCain.

Fake!
These pictures are obvious photoshops. I played several of these games last week and there were no McCain ads in there. You can also tell this is a fake because the shadows and shading is all wrong.
What wouldn't be fake at all is the McCain ads in the movie Never Back Down.

Did you notice Mario is a plumber and according to the news, Obama pledged to raise taxes on plumbers nationwide.
That's very clever.
15. LSDiesel - October 20, 2008 1:03 PM
@14, didn't notice that, but good catch!
16. Hunter - October 20, 2008 1:14 PM
Thank you Uncle Diesel for helping put Sharpie in his/her place.
Sooooo, who's Toad playing??
17. NINTENDO - October 20, 2008 1:16 PM
not "Nentindo!"
18. Gag me all over. - October 20, 2008 1:39 PM
No shit its fake Daisy, I really hope your being sarcastic and it just doesn't translate. Did you go out and play the new game called "Doom" I hear its t*** but I'm really looking forward to "Pong", its going to be revolutionary.
19. LSDiesel - October 20, 2008 2:00 PM
@18, You just proved to everyone that you're the biggest newb on the site. Thanks for playing.
20. TehNewbHunter - October 20, 2008 2:07 PM
Dude, i would totally play McCain Doom, although Palin Hunt would be pretty sweet too.
21. Elmo - October 20, 2008 2:28 PM
it would be awsome if they had mccain pacman heads.....

23. LSDiesel - October 20, 2008 3:25 PM
Do a Barrel Roll!!!!
Thats what she said.
....sorry.
24. DrNecropolis - October 20, 2008 3:33 PM
Would it be in poor taste to point out that you probably wouldn't want to play as Sen. McCain in Starfox?
25. Nacon - October 20, 2008 3:35 PM
They're all fake.....
And OLD!
26. jonar - October 20, 2008 4:48 PM
do you think daisy will still be doing the same comment routine for every post a year from now?
27. ficedude12 - October 20, 2008 6:54 PM
Notice how McCain's in-game ads are from the older generation of games.
28. ihatedaisy - October 20, 2008 7:40 PM
