One of the Splinter Cell video games contains a virtual billboard for a real company that is often overlooked. As you play, you find yourself suspended about 27 stories in the air as you attempt to infiltrate a high security office building. Is this the time when you ask yourself “Hey, do I smell fresh?” Sure enough, illuminated in the background is a sign for Axe bodyspray. Will players see this, hit pause, and go out to buy some. No. They go right on across the wire leaving this ad behind them.
