POLITICS: A new kind of ad

Maybe, just maybe, politicians are listening to the American people. This is an example of a well-rounded political ad. It explains the candidate's policies, makes you think and doesn't make an attempt to bash the other candidate.

Americans are tired of the vague "he said she said" ads, while no one explains their own policies and what they would like to do for this country.

POLITICS: Video games new battleground for ads

Obama broke new ground today, as he became the first presidential candidate to advertise in a video game. The ad appears in Burnout: Paradise City when the Xbox 360 system is connected to the internet.

The ad is in the form of a billboard while the player is racing. It will appear in games until November 3, in ten states. The states, Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Colorado, Indiana, Montana, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada and Wisconsin are considered this year's battleground states.

The ads were purchased through Microsoft (Xbox), which offered McCain equal ad space. Neither candidate accepted ad offers from Sony (Playstation 3).
