It’s not just an ad to go vote yourself but to help get out the vote, as well, which is the point of asking for the day off–”make calls, knock on doors, get out the vote.”

So, it’s not insulting as some are making it out to be.

I agree with Sunny. You’re reading way too much into the ad. It’s no big deal.

I don’t think this ad is really that big of a deal. I think you’re reading way too much into the ad. It’s not even about taking the whole day off to vote — it’s about taking the day off to volunteer to help get people out to vote.

I suspect the WiiMote was chosen because it’s white — notice how the couch and the desk were also white? — and because it’s long and narrow and looked better on the screen than some of the other game controllers. It looks to me like they needed something they could put on the side of the text and the WiiMote was perfect for that.

@ Step - lol, I was thinking the same thing last night when I was reading back on the comments. But I must admit that alot of them are my own.

It’s an unfortunate truth though, that when politics come up, people come out.

@Blues - I wouldn’t read as much into it, but many politicians have given me reasons to.

Obama has mentioned video games many times in his speeches. This latest addition in his ad is yet another example.

I’m not being completely paranoid. I’m not going to go home and lose sleep over it. It certainly isn’t going to affect my voting decision. But this is a video game site, specifically about the Nintendo Wii. So, if I see an ad involving it, I’m going to write about it.

I guess my candor, and colorful words do make me out to seem like some kind of conspiracy theorist. But it’s just all in good debate, and trying to make a good argument.
