Scotland Targets Gamers With Drunk Driving Ads

Scotland has announced intentions to target gamers with anti-drunk driving advertising. It's an interesting approach from a government to place advertising of this nature inside games and further legitimizes the in-game advertising industry.

How much success Scotland will have with virtual billboards in NBA Live remains to be seen.

Read about it here.

This is silly. Not in game advertising, I am all for it, when it fits.
But doesn't Scotland realize that gamers don't leave their house, so how can they possibly drink and drive?

DM: From the deepest crypts crawls the undead thread, it's death rattle shakes you to your core. What foul necromantic forces brought forth this foul beast.
Cleric: I attempt to turn undead.
DM: You can't this is a WoW forum D&D magic does not work here.
Cleric: Well guys we are @#$%*%!
Wizard: Agreed, I believe this Necrothread was created by a dread ForumLych, impossible to stop, without a sense of humor.
Fighter: Very well I throw a badge or some other posting reward down at the necrothread and prepare a tactical retreat.
DM: The necrothread pauses at your offer, snaps up the reward and slinks off deeper into the internet.
Rogue: Phwew! That was close... I wonder if there are even more ancient Necrothreads ahead of us?
Fighter: We will only know when we continue on our journey through the crypts of Warcry.

Exactly! Kind of a waste if you ask me.
