Littwin: Wolf man's billboard a Colorado weirdness successor to Ballon Boy

[RamboLiberal]

Billboards, I'll confess, are not my favorite form of advertising. But if I had a billboard of my own, I'd start with this message:

Phil Wolf — Hater or Wack Job?

If you haven't heard of Phil Wolf, he's the Colorado car dealer who has turned himself into Billboard Boy — a successor in weirdness to Balloon Boy — and the latest in our state's contribution to cable TV, talk radio and the blogosphere. He can't match the guy in the Los Angeles airport who strapped 15 lizards to his chest, trying to sneak them through customs, but he's weird enough.

You've probably seen either the billboard itself, which is on Wolf's used-car lot in Wheat Ridge, or the photo of the billboard in Saturday's paper or a TV clip of the billboard, which features cartoonish/racist images of Barack Obama as big-eared president and Barack Obama as big-eared turban-wearer.

The billboard asks: "President or Jihad?" Of course, it should be President or Jihadi, but, as I understand it, bad grammar — along with nutty thinking — is protected by the First Amendment.
