Anti-Bush advertising

With Bush's popularity at an all-time low, we thought it would be interesting to come up with some examples of just how mainstream Bush-Hating has become. We are not trying in any way to be political, but to observe a growing trend and tie it into advertising.

The following are examples of anti-Bush advertising that falls into three groups: First, from actual companies who in some way send an anti-Bush message while also selling their product. Second, from activists who have bought or created their own anti-Bush advertising. Third, from those who deface signs to make them anti-Bush.

Let us know what you think of these efforts: Free speech? On-target? Gone too far?

Anti-Bush Company Advertising


These are billboards for a New Zealand pizza chain called Hell Pizza (https://www.hell.co.nz/chooseCity.jsp).

Billboard from Naked Bars. I imagine that their target demographic skews very much towards the anti-Bush side.

Advertising Bought by Activists

When President Bush campaigned in Greeley, Colorado for the mother of the anti-gay marriage amendment, here's the billboard that greeted him:

Created by artist Chris Savido, this was featured on an electronic billboard near the entrance to New York City's Holland Tunnel. If you cant tell, Bush's eyes and hair are monkey faces.

A Los Angeles artist (http://www.meidle.com/Karen/Index.html) with a history of mocking the Bush administration and conservatives including Rush Limbaugh is now going after the Fox News Channel (http://www.foxnews.com/) with a new billboard and related website called ShoxNews.com (http://www.shoxnews.com/).

Two more to follow...

Very well-thought-out anti-Bush defacement of a Lord of War movie poster. Bush's face is a mosaic of something not-so-pleasant.

While the following two aren't anti-Bush, they are interesting political advertisiment defacements.

Hehe. I liked the audiobooks one. Although, shouldn't this be in the humor section?
