Overwatch is so popular politicians are using them in Ads

[CyFr]

Overwatch has become so popular in Asian countries that politicians are starting to use them in their ad campaigns.

What would you do or think if your politicians started using Overwatch?

Could there be a Bernie Sanders montage out there using Overwatch? Could that have boosted his popularity even more?

If Hillary used it would she have lost votes for being disingenuous?

Original Title:

Overwatch Play of the Game used in campaign ad for South Korean politician

Quote

South Korean presidential candidate Sim Sang-Jung (via Kotaku) used the Play of the Game music and presentation, even down to the “kills” bit in one of her political ads.

Im not korean, nor do I speak korean, but she's got my vote 

[Linksys120n]

even without the video game stuff it seems like shes kicking butt in those debates...

[EunSoo]

lvl 2 scrub...

But seriously, I would totally vote for her

[RadiatingLight]

Way too long IMO.

Should've been 10 seconds of her best comebacks, and then her ult, which was a super good sentence or something.

It's Monday, I'll have the fish......

 

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Yea. This would only happen in Korea.

Well she knows how to get the youth vote.

 That was the cringiest thing I've ever seen.

[Teddy07]

Without reading the article: I can anyone serious with an ad about gaming. This is especially true for politicians

Well, there's a big group of people out there that are gamers, but they aren't on the street often and rarely follow the news so i'm not surprised if politicians start targetting them. Being able to link themselves with games like overwatch might be enough to get a few votes

She just needs to say that she plays video games and will formally incorporate gaming as a profession and part of the education system. The young will vote for her. 

Or move to Sweden/Norway

See now, if she had half a brain she might have been more influential saying "we're going to help educate people with free education to make apps like Pokemon Go. In order to do that we're going to allow you to catch them all at the polls."

[samiscool51]

my fav thing to say to people who rage on overwatch: (russian accent) "is only game, why you have to get mad?"

[Misanthrope]

I read that initially as "Politicians are using them in aids" and I was about to thank Obama.

 

*flies away*

[PlayStation 2]

This is even worse than the fucking "Pokemon Go to the polls" bullshit Hillary pulled.

it's the original quote.... thats what that russian guy said during that sports game.....

[HelplmChoking]

I wouldn't be able to take any politician seriously for doing this, I think most of the voting population would agree. I vote based on policies and promises, not on how good at Overwatch the candidates are.
