Video: Obama, Hillary Avatars Battle in WWE

Video: Obama, Hillary Avatars Battle in WWE

April 22, 2008
Today's crucial Pennsylvania primary will surely be nothing like this over-the-top WWE video of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton facing one another in the wrestling ring...



UPDATE: Wired reports that game publisher THQ created the Clinton-Obama wrestling animations...

I can't stop laughing!!! xD
Am I the only one kind of disturbed to see Hilary jumping around all peppy like that?
That right there made my morning.
Once again reminding us how ALL debates should be started!
I thought that Hillary was trying to ban this type of thing.... I don't know about Obama though...
Where's the battling? The headline says "battle in the ring", but it's just their intros and a taunt apiece.

This makes me sad. They should have at least exchanged a couple punches.
My bad "battle in WWE."

I'm up past my bedtime, my eyes are fuzzy.
On WWE RAW they actually showed in-game footage of the simulated match. As one would expect, neither avatar was allowed to take too much of an advantage, and they ended the segment in a stare down.
HAHAHAHHAHA!! Priceless! :D
Where the hell is the match?
O_o Created wrestling animations? Dennis, seriously? That sounds like something someone completely clueless would say.

It's from Smackdown vs Raw 2008 with Hillary and Obama created in the create a superstar mode, not exactly hard to do.

Andrew Eisen: Beach + fireworks + root beer + strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, whipped topping, and pound cake = my Fourth of July!

GoodRobotUs: Which seems to be the only point Jack proved, that some people find some games offensive. i.e. Nothing.

GoodRobotUs: The discussion was supposed to be whether games were dangerous not 'Do you find some games offensive'...
Posted 07/04/09 at 07:55pm
GoodRobotUs: Some agreed, some didn't, but it was their choice to make, not the governments.
Posted 07/04/09 at 07:55pm
GoodRobotUs: By asking the audience their opinion, he more or less proved that it's a matter of personal choice
Posted 07/04/09 at 07:55pm
GoodRobotUs: Meh, he ended proving Mark's point for him

Erik: Jack if you are reading this you are a LIAR. There is no legal weight to the MPAA's ratings.

JDKJ: I still think my buddy the midget who rides a unicycle backwards while juggling four bowling pins would have been a much bigger hit with that crowd. And he can make up statistics and misinterpret studies, too.

Alyric: Of course, Mark falls into the common trap about Columbine, which had nothing to do with bullying, etc. See: http://slate.msn.com/id/2099203/?GT1=3256 for a more thorough explanation.

PHX Corp: JT is afraid of such ban then advocates it That's what i call a total Hypocrite
Posted 07/04/09 at 05:50pm
PHX Corp: AE: JT is a -Bleeping- Jackass

Andrew Eisen: JT "knew it would be a good audience." Not what he said on Tuesday.
Posted 07/04/09 at 05:01pm
Andrew Eisen: VG cause violent behavior. VG companies influence behavior to get sales. Yeah, that makes sense. (To be fair, the Twitter feed makes deciphering JT's point pretty tough.)
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:52pm
Andrew Eisen: Yes, it's been proposed but as far as I know it has not been passed. Big difference.

Andrew Eisen: Far as I know, Germany has not banned all violent video games.
Posted 07/04/09 at 04:44pm
Cheater87: Jack wants the US to follow Germany's total video game ban.

Andrew Eisen: Note to JT, it is not illegal to sell kids a ticket to R-rated movies.
