"Hell. Too good for some evil bastards."

It's a legit billboard, using Georgie's picture, put up by New Zealand's Hell Pizza. And it's caused a bit of a stir in NZ. (And, doubtless soon in this country as we are all connected.) Raw Story has a different billboard pic but the same story ( Read more... )

advertising, humor, politics

apparently too many soldiers aren't dying, and require after war support. too bad says our government. it's costing money. it's not patriotic to be a leach. please go away.

And this surprises you? Georgie's boys were cutting VA benefits practically from 2001 onward.

not at all. what's amazing is it's surprising many people still, and they tolerate it, or accept it.

just like vietnam in many ways. our returning boys and girls are not heros. they are not patriots and help up to the light. they are victims, and for the most part (excepting certain notables), invisible, and should not make waves.

unlike vietnam, the protests against about georgie's actions and policies... fall on apparent deaf ears. it's amazing really. really really amazing. if it weren't for the net, nobody would hear this stuff, because no US news agency has the balls to run it. at falcon ridge, a wacko had a point: back in the day, people made songs, people heard them, stuff happened. now? write a song? make a comment? the corporations that own your franchise will silence you. real patriotism isn't profitable. corporate patriotism is about raping this country even after its dead dead dead.

go new zealand pizza!

i_Scrib and I had a chance to go to Hell during our honeymoon. It was at Rotorua, which only added to the ambiance(*). The pizza was quite good the pizza names were uprorious.

(*)Rotorua has volcanic hot springs, which means that there are clouds of sulpher, which smells like, well, Hell.

I am totally envious of you and Scrib. Not only a cool country but a cool pizza shop. Sigh.

The devils on the website are so. damned. cute.

I think them putting up, say, Putin wouldn't have the same impact in NZ. If I'm ever down there I am defniitely eating in Hell.
