1. So anyone want to bet how long it takes

For the Bush image to grow a Hitler mustache?



I pubished news about these billboards on the local Indy Media here:

3. Do they sell a lot of paintballs in L.A.?

4. Hollywood values?

Like Arnold, Ronnie, Dennis, Fred Thompson?

Sort of hypocritical, methinks. Who had a womanizing, drug taking, Hollywood type speak at their convention?
That's right the repugnantcons.

6. Let us know here

I'll be driving around Hollywood and will look for the billboards. I'll also ask my friends who work there. I would love to do a series of photos as the inevitable tagging by locals progresses. I'll post those images here too.

9. I haven't seen one yet.

10. So I'm walking down Sunset Blvd. near Doheny

I look up and see one.

And it's pathetic.

First of all, I drive down Sunset everyday and only while I was walking did I notice it. I have no idea how long it has been up there.

Now, it's at the tail end of the business area of the "Sunset Strip." It's nowhere near where the Marlboro Man used to be or anywhere near the heart of Sunset. It's in between 2 streetlights and on a curve in the road. So the chances of any drivers looking up to see it are slim. There are other billboards and plenty of palm trees blocking it, too. If they had it across the street, facing the other way, sooooo many more people would be forced to sit in gridlock with that hideous mug staring at them. But I guess they didn't want to spend that much on it.

It looks more like a realtor's billboard. A cheesy one. With a bloated guy in a suit. Saying something like "I'll sell your house." * looks constipated.

Whoever made this must have used a wal-mart version of photoshop. The Hollywood faces aren't clear, it's confusing to look at and I think a 5 year old could've picked out better fonts. Most of the Hollywood people are blocked by the trees, too. You can't really see anything but a big "W" and *.

I mean, if they're going to try to "rub salt in our wounds," at least they could be clever, creative, smart, um, nevermind, I forgot who I was talking about. They don't pull it off. Not even close.

So really, it's dumb. Which I know you guys know. The pics here online make it look so much better than the real life version.

Now I have to go wash out my eyes from looking at it for too long.

11. Can't wait to see how it "evolves"

We'll try driving around Hollywood this weekend and see if anymore show up.
