Concerning Billboards

I was discussing Obama today with one of the coolest guys I met at the MSA camp and I brought up Obamas new strategy to appeal to younger voters - placing billboard ads in Video Games. I mean, marketers are increasingly turning to in game advertising as a means of connecting with the highly sought after 18 - 35 group.

So i was thinking - since this is all done on a rotational basis on Xbox Live, can you imagine a future where you are playing online in the late afternoon and you see something like this

So chances are that it might not evoke behaviour change but at least its a reminder of sorts. Just a little nudge.
