5. I think so too.. I think they are saying, even if you don't read, at
least listen on tape and you'll sound more intelligent than Bush

25. What? I heard that * read 2000 books this summer!
I think I got the number of zeros right, or should the 2 be removed? No matter.

I also heard that he reads Shakespeare backwards for a challenge.

Not bad for a semi-illiterate, is it?

6. A Canadian Billboard, No Less
Loove the billboard!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Looked up the website, they're based out of Ontario, I think.

Yet ANOTHER reason why I love Canada and want to move there!

15. I think they actually went easy on him!
Edited on Wed Aug-30-06 03:19 PM by Lisa
He still has a smidgen of dignity (and a smile, though a smarmy one) in that billboard ad. And even in the "Yale Shmale" university ad posted by boolean, above. They could have used one of the many Bush tantrum pics ... or even the goofy one of him foiled by those locked doors in China!

23. unfortunately, it's not photoshopped
I think it's from 2003. I remember that it (and other similar facial expressions) were noted on DU.

19. Looks like Photoshop to me.
Edited on Wed Aug-30-06 04:08 PM by sofa king
The two visible corners of the billboard look artificially rounded and pixellated. Any 'shop talkers out there who can back me up?

Edit: But it's still today's desktop background on my computer!

20. It's an actual ad campaign for Simply Audiobooks
I had a friend from up north fill me in on this a few days ago. He said there are quite a few of these out there.

And a few of them have been hijacked to promote other messages.

21. he's got that 'o, shucks, no' look...
