Bush Site Unplugs Poster Tool
by Chris Ulbrich


The Bush-Cheney presidential campaign disabled features of a tool on its website Thursday that pranksters were using to mock the Republican presidential ticket.

The tool originally let users generate a full-size campaign poster in PDF format, customized with a short slogan of their choice. But Bush critics began using the site to place their own snarky political messages above a Bush-Cheney '04 logo and a disclaimer stating that the poster was paid for by Bush-Cheney '04, Inc.

The campaign changed the tool Thursday so that users could no longer enter their own messages, but only select from a pull-down list of states and coalition groups. The campaign didn't respond to requests for comment.

2. I' like to think some of our more artistic members got in there...

before they changed the tool.

With the photoshopping that goes on, I'm not too sure they are safe anymore!

:evilgrin:

6. PDF is an "open" format.

It ought to be pretty easy to take the PDF and either modify the
text directly (using full Acrobat) or render it to PostScript(TM)
and then modify that; there's really no way they can stop that.
