Xbox 360 Fanboy

I was raised on the dairy, bitch!

Lol!

If its ture....McCain FTW.

Equal airtime doesn't include advertising... so if one candidate wanted to buy ads, the other one doesn't have to, nor do they need to give them ads.

the equal time rule comes from the FCC and applies to radio and television only (as the FCC has no hand in regulating the internet, print magazines/newspapers, etc.) however, I am certain EA would be just as happy to take McCain's money as they are to take Obama's!

@RAD Moose,

Actually, the equal airtime DOES include advertising.

However, just because one candidate chooses to buy, say, 30 hrs of ads on a network doesn't mean another candidate will do the same, or even have the budget to do so. It just means that the channel that sold the first candidate 30 hrs of ad-time must also make 30 hrs of ad-time available for the second candidate, should the want it. The rule also prohibits stations from censoring campaign ads.

Regardless though, internet advertising isn't regulated by the FCC and thus the equal time rule doesn't apply.

um... this game came out in January 2008. What were you boycotting it for from January through now? Or was it a preemptive boycott because you just knew EA was going to one day sell some in-game advertising to an advertiser who was political in nature?

Hell yeah! I am gonna boycot now too. They won't get a cent out of me for their DLC! Suckas!

Yeah, you're right.

Clearly, anything having to do with politics doesn't belong on 360 Fanboy anyways.

Not because video games and politics are unrelated topics, but because clearly nobody here has any idea what the they're talking about.

Stop bickering about who Obama and McCain 'know' and who's running their campaigns.

Stop posting youtube videos made by people who have absolutely no requirement to be honest in any way.

Stop parroting what partisan pundits tell you to parrot and do the research and find out what Obama and McCain intend to do when they become president, not what other people tell you they're going to do, but what Obama and McCain actually plan to do.

I guarantee you Obama and McCain have detailed exactly what they're going to do on the real issues like the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the economy, taxes, etc.

If all someone is doing is listening to what people who agree with them say about what both candidates are going to do and automatically disagree with what someone who disagrees with you says both candidates are going to do then they're an intellectually dishonest person and they're disgracing your country by voting without taking the time to come to an honest, informed opinion about who is best fit to run this country.

And finally, who cares if there's political advertisements on a video game? How can anybody whine about something like that? Cry me a river!
