Since we've been chatting about the GOP's branding of late, remember the RNC's convention logo?
Damn that thing was hilarious. I came across it searching for something or other, and it's just as funny now as it was back then. As I wrote back then:
Wide stance? Check.
In Minneapolis? Check.
Prison stripe-wearing? Check.
Starry eyed? Check.
As for the elephant humping the "2008"...
Are they going for a "Still screwing the country in 2008" theme, or is it a reference to hypocritical adulterers like David Vitter and just about the entire Republican presidential field?
All of the above? Check!
Apparently they ran out of space for a collapsing bridge.
I have to say, that comment thread was one of the funniest I've ever read on this site. Some choice excerpts:
The Blue-to-Red ratio looks to be about 80%-20%. That sounds about right for the 2008 election too.
Very appropriate for 2008. The elephant has Assumed the Position
Crapping on Minneapolis?
Elephants only stand on their hind legs for one thing; count on the Extinction Party to know nothing of their habits.
[N]ot to mention that the head looks like a snake coming out of a monkey's ass.
Total roadkill. [I]t really does look like an elephant that just got ran over by a truck and is now splattered and dazed on the ground, covered in skid marks.
The Lone Star eye of Texas is trained on the "con" in convention. How appropriate.
The head looks like it is partially decapitated.
An elephant never forgets how.
Judging by the shape of the eye, I'd say he's been shot in the face by Cheney.
