You haven't seen President Obama until you've seen him computer-generated by your PlayStation. If your team wins the Super Bowl in the upcoming Madden NFL 11 video game, you earn the honor of a visit to the White House.

The visit comes complete with an Obama photo op. Watch (Obama appears at the 1:56 mark):

Virtual Obama is kind of a fat-ass.

If you value your sanity don't read the comments on the sister article to this on Kotaku. The teabagger infestation over there is kind of depressing.

@seedypete: WOW. Yeah. It's pretty amazing. They think this is political indoctrination. Really? I mean, have you played any of Tom Clancy's games?

@lostarchitect: To be fair aren't most of them awful anyway? (Disclaimer: I've never actually played any of 'em)

@MrHaroHaro: Some of them are pretty incredibly xenophobic. Stories about Islamic terrorists coming across the Mexican border and what not. I tried to play a couple of them but after a while it was too distracting, so I never finished them.

@lostarchitect: Oh I can imagine. Aren't those Call of Duty games similar (well, minus the blatant conspiracy theory-like plots)? I don't much about these video game things outside of Street Fighter and Metal Gear. Oh and Harvest Moon...

We're only two Madden seasons away from video groupies.

@Botswana Meat Commission FC: Next Season's update: The Off The Field Issues Mode!

Push up to "make it rain", push right to sexually assault a coed, push down to smuggle an illegal substance, and push left to take performance enhancing drugs.

Left trigger will make you contrite at the meeting with the commissioner, and the right trigger will be to stiff arm the groupies looking for child support for your illegitimate kids.
