Are we supposed to fill in the yellow box?

i dunno. as somebody who actually works in advertising, i can tell you that the whole thing is pretty awful - regardless of the content. badly written. appallingly designed. it's almost like folk art. you can almost feel the heat form the impotent fists of rage that banged it out on the computer.

I'm not entirely sure that it was designed on a computer. The text looks like it was done by an old school sign painter.

Yeah but someone on the Internet called Sarah Palin a name, which by rule indicates that both sides are equally bad.

It's pretty terrible. Whatever you do please don't move here. if you have any friends or family members who live here get them out ASAP. Especially if they commute to work the same way that I do.

i was actually thinking the same thing. it looks like it's right out of the fifties - right down to the racist caricatures.

Is the yellow space where we're supposed to show our work in order to "prove it"? And what are we trying to prove?

I'm sorry...I don't speak wingnut. Would someone please translate?

I'm going to disagree here guys. I think this layout is brilliant. The yellow box not only destroys any negative space, but also accents the horrid hand painted font style. It helps communicate stupidity, outdated values, and a general lack of logical thought that would be found in the target demographic.
Perfect!

If an outright lie is provided in the context of a non sequitur, do they cancel each other out? Is it like a double negative? Inquiring minds want to know.

KHOW radio's Peter Boyles wears labels like "xenophobe" and "racist" as badges of honor, often comparing himself to Galileo and Copernicus; that is, as an outsider-advocate for the truth. During Tuesday's broadcast, Boyles announced his commitment to the truth sought by the "birther" movement, explaining that he has joined with World Net Daily (WND) to launch an ad campaign questioning Pres. Obama's citizenship and asking to see the president's birth certificate.

Politically, I've been sitting on the fence. But this billboard has deftly explained the core of Republican ideals, and I'm convinced that the GOP has the most reasonable and intelligent platform. Palin/Romney 2012.

Don't forget the ignorance part... sure the two tend to go hand in hand, but they are like voltron, if you forget one, the other kicks your ass and sleeps with your mother (nttawwt).

Side question since you brought it up. Given how the Potus side stepped the bombing question while in Japan... and Palin thought asking her which news papers she read was a gotcha... any one want to fathom a guess how she would have handled the atomic bomb question?

I mean seriously, if a question about which news papers you read is a gotcha, wtf is one about the bombing of Hiroshima, by a Japanese press person, while visiting the leader of Japan.

Seriously, Palin supporters, get a grip on reality.

It's just sad to see Republicans like this: they've gone from being self reliant individuals that mind their own business to semi-literate white trash losers that blame everyone but themselves for their actions.
