George Bush had his three-fingered W salute that supporters flashed when greeting him at presidential campaign events in 2000. And now, if a Los Angeles creative agency gets its way, Sen. Barack Obama will see fans meet him with his own salute like the one above. "Our goal is to see a crowd of 75,000 people at Obama's nomination speech holding their hands above their heads, fingers laced together in support of a new direction for this country, a renewed hope, and acceptance of responsibility for our future," says Rick Husong, owner of The Loyalty Inc. Husong tells me that he got the idea after seeing the famous Obama-Progress poster by artist Shepherd Fairey. "We wanted to get involved some way," he says. So, the agency came up with their own a symbol of hope and progress that also plays off Obama's name. "We thought, 'Let's try and start a movement where even while walking down the street, people would hold up the O and you would know that they were for Obama,' " says Husong. Much thought went into the relatively simple idea. "You interlace your hands in a circle, the interlacing being a symbol of different types of people coming together and the circle a symbol of unity," he says. Their design, unlike Fairey's, is free, and Husong is urging people to download it and print it on posters and T-shirts. "We want to see it everywhere, but more importantly we want this sign to take the world by storm."

Bwahhhhawwwaaa!!!!
That's what that poster screams to me. Along with goatse and BOHICA.
“Don’t be shtupid, Be a Smarty, Come and Join Obama’s Party!”
Isn’t that the universal sign for A-hole?
They took that from “Star Trek.” (The old series.) “ONE.”
Yeah, no sign of an American flag in sight.
I think it confirms that they’re all a bunch of jagoffs.
It sure is now.
“Isn’t that the universal sign for A-hole?”
...things are starting to make sense.
It’s all about the “O”.
LOL! Obama supporters made less sense than the nuts in that episode.
I think it’s a sign of the Opocalypse.
Looks to me like they are planning a circle jerk.
How about hands on both side of the head like elephant ears?
Universal sign for “A-hole”
Planning a circle herk
Looking like a bunch of jagoffs
Sign of the Opocalypse
maybe it’s time to go back to the drawing board.
