Too Fun to Resist

Thanks to the hefty donations by Bush pioneers and the webwork of graphic design slaves, you can customize your own Bush-Cheney reelection poster. This is obviously ripe for subterfuge. But there are limitations. I tried entering "You're Screwed" but was politely asked to "Please Change Your Entry." Oh well. Still, I like the one that made it through:

Not a bad way to kill time while waiting for the coffee to brew.

UPDATE (11:29pm): Awww, the toy is broken. The field to enter your specialized message has disappeared. Either it crashed or, more likely, the site manager got sick of Democrats and anti-Bushies creating rude messages. Tsk-tsk—so early in the election season. But the poster part is still up. Anyone with an image editor can have their way with it.

They have filters in there for words like "Kerry" or "Enron". Which is easy to circumvent with pig latin.

Ixnay on the Ronennay!

I made one that said "Don't bother voting... We got Scalia!"

"The World Trade Center died for my sins" works, too. They've blocked 9-11, Sept. 11, September 11, etc, though.

Curious the words they're blocking...

I can't find an option to input any text. Perhaps they've disallowed this option, huh?

I've already downloaded my favorite eight or ten modified posters already....:)
