In-game ads are a pretty interesting thing. It sure is weird to see the ads you would find on the street or on billboards across the city in your game while you race or shoot another character. It certainly is one of the biggest less exploited areas of advertising, which is why big companies like Activision sign contracts to display ads in their games, or why big industry companies like Google enter this market. But the end results are sometimes a bit funny. GamePolitics reports that a gamer, while playing the racing title Burnout: Paradise, saw a billboard advertising for the United States Presidential Candidate Barrack Obama. The gamer in question, who goes by the nickname Dragunov765, posted pictures of this billboard on his blog and expressed his opinion about them. Don't go thinking that he's just a kid who knows how to Photoshop an image, because he definitely has credibility and the pictures look real enough.
