This really creeps me out.

1. Any ADBUSTERS/Culture Jammers Out There?

This is a tee-ball, people!

[The Sushi Bandit]

3. Explain T-ball?

[Merrick]

6. Really. The first thing I thought of when I saw that thing

was: Man, if that went up in my neighborhood, it would be so trashed within days. Hopefully there are some kindred spirits down there. I could imagine it might take a little while though - after all, you don't want to waste the opportunity messing the canvas by doing something devoid of imagination. Such is a thing that demands deep creative thought!

2. Chop it DOWN!!!

[Inland]

4. The Cult of Personality, as found in all the real dictatorships.

The identification of an individual with the state, and the submission to him as leader. The only difference between that billboard and a poster in Stalin's day or NK today is that a corporation did it, not the government. But hey, what's the difference between the two? The genius of Bush's totalitarianism is that the institutions that appear to be separate and countervailing are in fact coordinated and symbiotic, so much so that one can't tell where one ends and the other begins.

[spotbird]

7. Yep.

But at least we're a Democracy.

I'm going insane.

[AlFrankenFan]

5. I saw this on a 16-wheeler: "THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP"

in Central CA. :scared:

[SammyWinstonJack]

20. What freakin' leadership?

People are insane! :argh:

[AlFrankenFan]

24. Ya they are

n/t

[burn the bush]

8. i don't think i will chop them down but...

i think i might find something corrosive to make little unflamed mol o tov cocktails to damage or destroy the picture

[Thoth]

29. How about Paintball? Wouldn't that be the perfect response? n/t

[leftofthedial]

9. ever since Dec 12, 2000

this has been a dictatorship

[yorkiemommie1]

10. this is sickening

Big Bush is watching. every day brings more outrageous news like this.

[liberalhistorian]

11. Yikes!

"Creeps me out" doesn't begin to describe it! This is the kind of worship you'd find under fascism, frankly. And I'd feel the same way if it were Clinton or any other Dem leader as well. Here we go, folks.

[Caledonia]

12. Creeps me out too

We don't have too many billboards over here, but if I saw things like this appearing on our motorways with Tory Bliars face on them, I would start worrying, especially post election.

13. Leader in German is "Fuehrer." (nt)

[michael_1166]

16. Yes, that's right...

but this was a problem we had here 60 years ago. You over there actually HAVE a problem right now with Mr. Bush...

If there would be billboards all over the german freeways showing a picture of chancellor Gerhard Schroeder accompanied by a text saying "Our leader.", the whole nation would go into fits of laughter and he'd be ridiculed by the press, TV and all parties (including his own) so that he'd have to emigrate I suppose ;-)

Michael, Germany

14. That's OK folks. Let's see if they put up any signs when.....

..the Economy heads into the toilet and a good share of the population is eating out of Garbage cans.

[scottxyz]

15. Unserer Fuehrer

[bobbyboucher]

17. Can anyone do something about this, wink, wink, nudge, nudge?

If you know what I mean.

[maveric]

18. Will he change the name of a major city to his like Stalin did?

He'll change San Francisco to "Bushville".

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

19. Holy shit! This is scary!

[Lefty48197]

21. I wonder what he'd look like with a Hitler moustache?

Of course, "Your Fuhrer" would be a good caption to go along with it.

[TahitiNut]

22. Here ya go ...

[Cha]

31. That's it...someone get up there and

paint a mustache on bush and those hitler eyebrows and change "our leader" to our fuhrer.

And maybe they'll get the fucking message.

[devinsgram]

23. Just like Iraq

Didn't Saddam have pictures of himself all over the place?

[madison2000]

26. KIM JONG-IL AND SADDAM HUSSEIN HAVE BILLBOARDS!

I wonder if we'll get a giant statue of Bush replacing the Statue of Liberty?

[Nimrod]

25. Is that Beethoven I hear?

9th Symphony, second movement to be exact? It's a little distant, but getting louder...

[CANDO]

27. Two gigantic billboards in Reading, PA

say BUSH WINS! Underlined by "God Bless America". I shit you not. Heil de Fuhrer! And they wonder why such a divide exists among the people.

[madison2000]

28. They're making me hate him more and more and more each day

:evilfrown: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :evilfrown:

[Cha]

30. This is way tooooo much..If I had to drive

by that billboard on the way to work every morning..as a Democrat I would get violently ill.

I wouldn't even want Kerry's picture up there like this..

"Our Leader" ..my Democratic ass! bush's immoral values will never lead me!!!!!
