A disgusting thing I saw today...
I had stopped by the bank on the way home from work to make a night deposit, and in the window of the drive up teller was a truly :puke: worthy sight! It was a '200'dollar bill with Shrub on the front, and it had phrases like 'moral, integrity, and upholding the constitution', along with the slogan, 'Dubya4Uin2001!'.
Has anyone else seen these abominations?

1. Whoa
That is bizarre. Let's hope this doesn't start appearing in the real currency!

i'm not sure what a "200" dollar bill would represent.

4. It looked like a $200 bill..
It could have been printed during the first campaign. He was sworn in in January of 2001.

3. 'Dubya4Uin2001!'???
'Zat mean he's running to be elected in the campaign where he only managed to get appointed? Does it mean we can have a 2004 election without him, since he's still trying to get elected to the term he's serving NOW?

5. Wouldn't the laws of karma dictate that bank will be robbed...
...by some desperate person who lost his job because of the "morals" and "integrity" of the Idiot Son of an Asshole??

As far as the BCE "upholding the constitution", here's one of their new Constitution Upholding Tools....

6. I think you should complain.
Tell them you will take your business elsewhere if they don't take it down. It has to be offensive to some of the workers. No decent company should allow political propaganda where the public can see it. My company certainly wouldn't stand for it.

11. It is very offensive!
But I happen to live in Freeperville. I get dirty looks from people because of anti Bush bumpersticker!

15. I'd do it anyway
They don't have a right to "stick it in your face" like that -- IF they want your business. We're still allowed to have more than 1 party. I'd call the branch manager, and if that didn't get an appropriate response, I'd escalate.

12. Did you see the signs on the back, in front of the WH?
"No More Scandals"
"USA Deserves a Tax Cut"
"We Like Broccoli"
"We Like Ice Cream"

Huh?

And what's with the oil pump on the right side?

Weird.

14. An Orwellian act
Just think if the treasury dept. was ordered to introduce these bills in circulation a few months before election 2004. Talk about propaganda!

13. I HAVE AN IDEA!!!!
Go into the bank, tell them you are a customer and you have friends in the military who are now being shot at in Iraq on a daily basis... kindly ask them to remove the bill or else you'll cancel your account.

I'll bet you a 200 dollar bill it comes down in 10 seconds.
