1up.com recently ran an article about he uproar in Washington D.C. over the ads Bethesda Software has been running in Metro Center. I’ve seen them and they are actually very impressive. But, I’m not surprised someone would get upset about them.

This reminds me of that huge controversy over “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Independence Day” billboards that depicted very similar scenes of landmarks being destroyed.

But back then there wasn’t any controversy, because when movies do it, apparently it’s okay.

The article says, “In response to a series of Fallout 3 ads posted in the D.C. subway system, Anzalone voiced his concerns to the Washington Post in a letter to the editor. It’s his opinion that the ads — which depict a post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. — are not only inappropriate, but that their protection is somehow unconstitutional.”

This is a good read so I recommend you digg it up and take a look.
