Best ad placement for a PC game.
Railroad Tycoon 3 - an ad on an Amtrak train

Better still - the locomotive in the ad have a keystone symbol on it, the logo of the Pennsylvania RR, and the train where I saw the ad was on the Northeast Corridor, an ex-Pennsy line.

Id hate to encounter say an FPS ad in analogous circumstances

Would it be politically incorrect to mention I've seen GTA:Vice City ads in poor black neighborhoods?

Since it was Harlem, and Harlem hosts a sizable Haitian population... basically, yes.
