Ads in Washington, D.C., for Fallout 3, a post-apocalyptic video game set there, have upset a few subway riders who'd rather not see images of city landmarks ravaged by war. One guys says the ads are "a daily reminder that Washington is a prime target for an attack." Of course, it is just a video game, and the entire planet looks bombed out, not just D.C. Admittedly, though, Bethesda Softworks is obviously trying to be provocative.
