Opinion of this billboard

Found recently somewhere in Grand Junction - Colorado, USA:

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Horrible billboard

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Terrible billboard.

lol @ the contradictions of gays and muslims or gays and mexicans somehow being great allies.

     Eh, what do you expect? Common sense & partisans go together like oil & water.

The drawing style is different, but is still extraordinarily reminiscent of that photocartoonist whose name escapes me right now... the antisemitic guy Libertas is fond of... ?  It piles in as many bigoted stereotypes and loaded misconceptions as possible until it's busting at the seams.

Well . . .  they are, at least in the current Democrat party.

His name is Dave Dees and he is not an anti-semite, he's anti-zionist.

He's more like anti-decency and, to this day, I maintain that he needs to be shot.

Svensson, you're sounding a bit....BRTDesque today.

[tpfkaw]

Yeah, that's a rather obvious (and sure to backfire) appeal to racism.  I can't imagine anyone would see that billboard and be persuaded to vote for Republicans.

By proxy, you want Libertas to be shot. Am I correct?

Silly.

ah, so that's what that other guy is.  I had Osama, Sharpton, and Pancho Villa figured out, but I wasn't sure whether the other one was supposed to be Dennis Rodman or what.  Now it makes sense.

Well, it's a little busy.  The message gets lost.  A billboard needs to be succinct.  You need to be able to process the message in about two hundred feet going sixty miles per hour.  That gives you about 1.5 seconds to process the message.  A message like, "Smoke Marlboro because it'll make you appear to be cool and studly like this cowboy" can be rendered with no words, only a tasteful picture of the Marlboro Man smoking a cigarette, and it can be processed in about 1.5 seconds by the human brain. 

This monstrosity can't be processed that rapidly, and it's likely to cause accidents.  Even from a stationary frame of reference, and having a few minutes to figure it out, it's not entirely clear what I'm supposed to buy except maybe the idea that the creator of the poster doesn't like Obama or rats or even vultures.  To me, it seems awfully inefficient, as a marketing strategy.  So I gotta give it a big thumbs down.

Aren't you thinking about a tall, cool glass of milk and a good smoke right now?  I know I am.

Amen, bro, Amen.  (I deleted my one sign, because Lunar gets antsy when stuff like that shows up on his boards )

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Reminds me of the Freepers predicting Obama would appoint a "radical Muslim and a homosexual" to replace Stevens.

Well, they got one out of two right.

[Smash255]

disgusting add trying to appeal to racists

[feeblepizza]

Awesome billboard.

a) It's not racist at all. The blacks depicted on it are obviously Obama(s).

b) Muslims are allies of the Democratic Party.

c) Illegal immigrants are allies of the Democratic Party.

d) Gays are allies of the Democratic Party.
