Thankfully, the above ad is fake. However, it's reason for creation may be rooted in truth. Rumors have been swirling for a while now that the Barack Obama Campaign have purchased some virtual advertisement space in the videogame Burnout: Paradise.

The fake ads have been pretty popular. So, not to be (completely) biased, a series of fake McCain ads have been released as well. McCain's ads focused on older games though, which makes sense as the guy is like 105 years old and probably isn't up on the latest generation console games. Despite their lower resolution graphics though, the ads are just as awesome.
