I'm not your guy for taking sides on politics (here), but now there's a screen, and I've seen everything.
ISeeTech.com first got me onto this story, and you can check out more images in their article.
One minute ago this MSNBC report on it was put up on YouTube.com
Is Obama the new Coke? Is there nowhere I won't have to look at him?
I'm not even taking a stand for or against him, but come on. Whoever I want to vote for, I don't want little bobbleheads of my presidential candidates showing up in my Happy Meal. Fine, my kids' Happy Meals.
So, here it is. Campaign ads are going to be slapped into, repotedly, 18 video games, including several sports releases, and Guitar Hero World Tour. Is this like the new math, or something? Are presidential candidates brands for God's sake? Do I vote, or buy the T-shirt? Is there going to be a new Palin Helicopter Hunt ride at Disney? Are they all voicing characters in the next feature-length cartoon movie, or are they the movie?
Is there no line in this thing? Is there no point at which you've pimped yourself out too much to be taken seriously? It's one thing to become associated with Jelly Belly or McDonald's, but are we going to have the official candy bar of a candidate, or the official candidate of a candy bar?
