"Stop the Pork"
This game is an persuasive game that tries to use humor and information to influence political allignment of the player. The first thing the player is comfronted with is the absurdity and simplicity of the McCain logo shooting the word "Veto" at floating pigs. After each level the player is then given facts about legislative spending supported by the different presidential candidates. The game sets the users up with the ease of play then hits them with a political message. It tries to use logos to convince the players by using facts and statistics of the different spending patterns of the candidates to vote for McCain based on their pocketbooks.

I think you did a great job describing the game. This is a good advergame to my opinion because it advertising for McCain. However, I still agree with you that this is a persuasive game because it somewhat influences the players who play this game. I think some people really change their views after play this game about McCain.
You hit the nail on the head with the description of Stop The Pork.It is a great advergame with a political twist. This game will benefit McCain's campaign and keep the republicans where they should be... in office.
