Burnout Goes Political

[By Anthony]

Y’know those free patches that Criterion has been putting out? Yeah, well they’re funded by advertising (shock horror). Anyway earlier this week (sorry it’s late) frequent players in the U.S. have noticed that presidential candidate Barrack Obama has been using Burnout: Paradise to promote his campaign. This is all well and good, but his recent speeches have had a focus on Videogames and TV (as well as bad parents) saying they were the reason kids in America (Kim Wilde ) are underachieving. Me thinks that these ad’s are a little hypocritical, but then again he’s a politician, it’s to be expected .
