Pizza billboard causes a stir
Decision on appropriateness of billboard which features US president being made today
8 August 2005
A decision is due to be made today whether a billboard labelling President Bush an 'evil bastard' is appropriate.
The Hell Pizza billboards have been erected around Auckland and Wellington. Half of the poster is taken up with a photo of the president and the other half has the phrase 'Hell: Too Good For Some Evil Bastards.'
Outdoor Advertising New Zealand is reviewing who is behind the boards and whether the Advertising Standards Authority needs to become involved.
Hell's media manager, Matthew Blomfield, says they expected to cause a bit of a stir. He says it is meant to provoke discussion and be a little edgy, instead of bland, boring advertising.
Mr Blomfield is hoping reaction will be balanced between those who find it funny and those who are upset by it.
Mr. Blomfield, go to Hell.
It's called a balance sheet in the business world. Here's hoping his is weighted heavily to the negative.
Typical. Libs protest Bush as "evil" and ignore Osama.
Wonder how they'd feel if we put up billboards calling their PM a Strumpet for a hay-penny.
ah, whatever.... is their pizza any good?
Is there anywhere in this country where you would see an advertising campaign with Ms. Clark's picture?
Just ignore them. That would really drive them crazy.
They don't know what evil is IMHO. One day, should the PRC descend upon them, they will be praying for someone like Bush or an "evil" George Patton to come and save them.
New Zealand? As if they mattered.
"You know what to do" ping!
Do they think the Aussie-hating Muslims are cuddly?
Rugged individualists those Kiwis. They have a very small Defence Force that couldn't withstand another larger country's invasion using fighters, bombers etc, but any enemy combatant encountering a New Zealander defending his country would last about two seconds on the shores of the Land of the Long White Cloud.
What an idiot!
Personally? I think he's a Handsome B@stard. If I had enough jing, I'd be puttin' up a billboard of my own. Right over my own house. ;)
Ah. . .what?
They gonna throw insults and hurl hot air at the invaders? Communist invaders? Islamic invaders?
Either that, or another brainy liberal can't tell the difference between the leader of a free country and the leader of a favored liberal despotic shithole.
