Political Video Game Advertisements?

For all you technology scholars out there - Obama had some money to spare and decided to purchase virtual billboard space in an upcoming video game

[Irony on] The McCain campaign was shell shocked, and has released a statement that they will respond by buying space in soon to be released version of John's favorite game, Pong XVII The Revenge of the Paddles." [Irony off]

Shell shocked?! How tasteless can one be to describe the campaign of a man who has served his country so bravely as "shell shocked," and then associate him with the word "pong," which, in Vietnamese means "to launch an attack!"
That's treasonous!
(sarcasm never off)
