Looking at that advert board, i've noticed something called Clear Channel. Isnt there something like that in the US?

[Pawn Power]

Clear Channel is an American media company. It has alot of control in advertising and radio in the U$ and has historically used these influences for capitalistic and conservative motives.

[RedAnarchist]

Is it just a coincedence that their name is underneath an advertising board in the UK?

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

Cm'n they should have put up something more shocking and original under it.

Clear Channel also owns every radio and tv station in the midwest of the US. They use brain washing on you from the time your a kid to get you to join there so called "volunteer army" yeah right every one i know in the army was drafted.

putting a question mark at the end would have effectively nullified the entire ad.

I have loads of them bastard tory signs round my neibhorhood.

When mr.T comes back ill fuck them up with some left wing stuf, take some pictures with my digi cam and put them on here.
Any suggestions what to put on em?

[encephalon]

add "especially jews." to the end as close to the font and size they're using as possible. That might at least get people drawing on what it actually does, as long as it looks like it's part of the ad.

[1936]

Meh, it would be to hard to make it look like part of the ad. Ill just do a giant swastika. underneath the writing.

[encephalon]

yeah, but if the swastika is obviously not part of the ad, people will just further separate nazis and tories. We don't want that.

[Red Heretic]

tory's???

[RedAnarchist]

The Conservative Party in Britain. Thats who the advertisment is for.

no, they probably sponser/support that party.

[Forward Union]

That's brilliant, I was gonna do something similar when I first saw one, and still plan to.

Good work, whoever done that.

How much would it cost to make large communist adverts and stick them over that Tory crap?

[NovelGentry]

I don't know, it gave me an idea though. Anyone with video creation/editing skills should make a video that looks like it's in support of president Bush and have a narrative going over it that says something like:

"President Bush stand for a strong America. In the continuing threat from terrorism, George Bush has made it his sacred duty to protect America and it's national identity...."

Then list some of the bills that he's supported that overstep their bounds...

Then just fade in a swastika at the end -- but up until then pull it off as a real ad

I was most unimpressed with that Tory advert, so I made my own, I posted it in another thread a while ago: -

I am going to print it out and put it around my campus, come election time.

Probably not. But then again, its rare to find a 2nd/3rd generation immigrant who is anti-immigration. Life is full of puzzles, ain't it.

[bed_of_nails]

Do it like South Park with Bush... You know the boy-scout episode where Timmy photoshops Jimmy's head onto a Gay Porno? Do that with George Bush and Dick Cheney.

Michael Howard is a 3rd generation illegal immigrant.

His Grandfather illegally emigrated to England.

Beautiful. You need to get some white spraypaint to edit the board.

[I've Defected]

naw, i think its good to show a distinction between the views of the tories and the people (, primarily the ones who sprayed that sign). If they used white spraypaint, someone might get the idea that tories are for immigration
