Complaint against Bush billboard upheld By Sarah McDonald A complaint made against a Hell Pizza billboard featuring US President George Bush has been partially upheld by the Advertising Standards Complaints Board (ASCB). The advertisement featured Mr Bush and the words "Hell. Too good for some evil bastards". Objections were made to the use of slang in a public place, the alleged denigration of Mr Bush, and perceived blasphemy. One of the complainants described the billboard as a vicious smear campaign against an openly Christian person. But advertising agency Cinderella Ltd defended the billboard, saying that it tapped in to a growing sense of outrage about the invasion of Iraq. The agency also said that use of the term "bastard" is widespread and can be considered a compliment. The board ruled the choice of words was irresponsible, but the association with Mr Bush did not cause serious or widespread offence. Other ads to fall on the wrong side of the ASCB include a Telecom television ad for the company’s Freedom plan, which lets customers make calls between a landline and a Telecom mobile for a flat fee of $10 per month. The ASCB ruled that Telecom should have made it clearer that the flat fee only applies for the first hour of a call, after which normal rates apply. Telecom’s main competition Vodafone did not escape either: its Best Mates campaign was censured for not making it clear that the offer was for Prepay customers only. Burger Fuel was judged to have crossed the line with a cheeky pun on the phrase “white Christmas” in a direct mail piece, but a television ad for the Frank drink range with a voiceover saying “nothing beats a perfect sunset and a nice cold ginger and lime, except nailing a woman half your age,” escaped the ASCB’s wrath. The ASCB is part of New Zealand’s self-regulatory system for monitoring the content of advertising.

Your boy Bush has finally gotten the international recognition that he deserves!

Bwhahahahahahahahaha. Christian. The only thing that man worships is power and Dick Cheney.

The billboard in New Zealand is a damned bit better than the fascist tripe that gets posted here in the states.
"First I'm gonna bother everybody I meet, and then I'll probably go home and get drunk."
gotta bump this one
These would be all over Vermont if billboards were legal in that state.
Yes it can't get much better than that EXCEPT if it were part of a pair with Mama Bush on an adjoining billboard looking admiringly at her son with the following quote: "Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it’s gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Oh, I mean, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" Barbara Bush on "Good Morning America," March 18, 2003 ROTFLOL!

you're right. I wish that the New Zealand billboard was posted in the US. if we had 'freedom of speech', then it would be so.

What a sham! What a lie!
Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush Yep. Mama Bush is definitely all of that and more. Recall the other sick comments Mama B made about the Katrina victims. http://www.discourse.net/archives/2005/09/the_modern_let_them_eat_cake_m oment.ht ml NEW YORK Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them." The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's "Marketplace" program. Then she added: "What I’m hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality. "And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this [she chuckles slightly]is working very well for them." And here's a link to the audio of the NPR Marketplace segment containing this incredible quote. It's real. Although some people might I suppose call it a nervous giggle rather than a chuckle. PS. E&P actually ameliorated the quote from la Bush. What she said on the tape about New Orleans' newly destitute is: "What I'm hearing which is sort of scary is that they want to stay" in Texas.
I think the GOP damage control finally stopped allowing her on public television. Too bad.

People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you.
There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again.
I'm thrilled to be here in the bread basket of America because it gives me a chance to remind our fellow citizens that we have an advantage here in America - we can feed ourselves.
I'd rather have them sacrificing on behalf of our nation than, you know, endless hours of testimony on congressional hill.
And so, in my State of the - my State of the Union - or state - my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation - I asked Americans to give 4,000 years - 4,000 hours over the next - the rest of your life - of service to America. That's what I asked - 4,000 hours.
It would be a mistake for the United States Senate to allow any kind of human cloning to come out of that chamber.
Russia is no longer our enemy and therefore we shouldn't be locked into a Cold War mentality that says we keep the peace by blowing each other up. In my attitude, that's old, that's tired, that's stale.
Columbia carried in its payroll classroom experiments from some of our students in America.
The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein, and his willingness to terrorize himself.
One year ago today, the time for excuse-making has come to an end.
I think the American people - I hope the American - I don't think, let me - I hope the American people trust me.
There's only one person who hugs the mothers and the widows, the wives and the kids upon the death of their loved one. Others hug but having committed the troops, I've got an additional responsibility to hug and that's me and I know what it's like.
The law I sign today directs new funds and new focus to the task of collecting vital intelligence on terrorist threats and on weapons of mass production.
I was proud the other day when both Republicans and Democrats stood with me in the Rose Garden to announce their support for a clear statement of purpose: you disarm, or we will.
First, we would not accept a treaty that would not have been ratified, nor a treaty that I thought made sense for the country.
This administration is doing everything we can to end the stalemate in an efficient way. We're making the right decisions to bring the solution to an end.
Ann and I will carry out this equivocal message to the world: Markets must be open.
We're concerned about AIDS inside our White House - make no mistake about it.
I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.
I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure.

Sidesplitting. After years of trial and error, American voters have achieved what was once thought virtually impossible. At last we have a Chief Exec that says practically nothing that can be take seriously.

After years of trial and error, American voters have achieved what was once thought virtually impossible. At last we have a Chief Exec that says practically nothing that can be take seriously. There were so many GWB classics on that short list - any one of those quotes could succeed in putting a smile on the grumpiest or the saddest face. When I read through the list, for a short split second, I almost felt sorry for the dick - he shares a house with George 24/7 - hey maybe that's why the dick secludes himself in his bunker at regular intervals - to give his ears and mind a refuge from listening to goofy pontificating in his inimitable manner. Btw, I quickly got over my momentary compassion for the dick.
Sidesplitting.

Yes, it's hard to crank up much compassion for that dick. It's been in some nasty places.

Yep. Recall Poppy's bizarre out of place allusion - a mis-step that beats Babs' and Junior's bloopers by a mile - in his recent eulogy to President Ford. The following link has excellent related official document reprints as well. Mama Antoinette and her old man, both of them, can't keep their mouths shut.

After a deluded gunman assassinated President Kennedy, our nation turned to Gerald Ford and a select handful of others to make sense of that madness. And the conspiracy theorists can say what they will, but the Warren Commission report will always have the final definitive say on this tragic matter. Why? Because Jerry Ford put his name on it and Jerry Ford’s word was always good.

Now is this billboard they'll put up for your girl? Still stuck in the false left-right paradigm, eh BAC? Hillary is not my girl. The Clintons are the Bush cabal's left arm, and I am utterly opposed to everything Bush/Clinton. It's time that Americans left, right and center rise up to end their dispicable, degenerate and despotic dynasties once and for all.
Actually, Bush isn't my boy.
