4. Apparently, it's from China
Found the image on yahoo. Here's the caption:

A Beijing businessman has filed an application to trademark the Chinese name of US President George W. Bush to help market his disposable nappies. In Japan his image has already been used on toilet paper.(AFP/File/Kazuhiro Nogi)

BEIJING, (AFP) - A Beijing businessman has filed an application to trademark the Chinese name of US President George W. Bush to help market his disposable nappies.
"I hit upon the idea by chance," said Guo. "Back in my hometown in Henan province, the pronunciation of 'Bushi' sounds exactly like 'not wet'."
China's Trademark Law bans words or patterns that can cause "harmful effects on ethics or society" to be used as trademarks.

Free speech on a roll

By The Associated Press

08.15.2001 (during the quiet before the storm)



ESTES PARK, Colo. — Secret Service agents claim they were missiles and a threat to national security. But a man arrested yesterday during President Bush's visit to this mountain town says they were just rolls of toilet paper he was handing out in the "First Amendment Zone."

John Fischer, who had also wrapped himself in the toilet paper, was charged with disturbing the peace when witnesses told police he handed out toilet paper and urged people to throw it at the president's motorcade, said Estes Park police spokesman Eric Rose.

The rolls show the smiling faces of Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Attorney General John Ashcroft on each sheet.

14. Not like anything I've ever seen in Japanese culture
Bush has made a big, though not "lasting," impression over there.
