Oh, wow: Serendipity strikes.
I saw 2 thread topics in succession in GD. One was "Home of the Whopper" ab out re-classifying burger flipping as manufacturing, and the other was about the White House as a chronic source of lies & disinformation. Something in my little brain went click and the idea for a new image was born. I don't have photoshop skills, so somebody else would have to make it, but the whole idea is a picture of the White House with a prominent Burger-King style logo: Home of the Whopper!

Any takers?

6. kick
the morphing of corporate icons, with the tabloid journalism going on, fundamentalism, and even the faux is fauxed ... society so plastic ... it is cartoonish ...

21. Loooove it!
I'll patiently await for the refinements before emailing it to several groups. It'll spread across the internet like wildfire and provide some much needed laughs. :D

26. Great work. One small idea
If we could get something in their about WMD lies, or AWOL lies. Maybe a little voice from the White House saying: "I wasn't AWOL!" Iraq is an imminent threat!", etc.

9. You guys are too much!
I LOVE DU.

Great idea and great visuals! Thank you Jackpine and Greg.

Hope this picture gets around. Maybe it should have it's own thread.

10. Ain't it beautiful--
Let's spread it everywhere.

I love Greg's job, but the thought comes to mind that we could maybe take advantage of that "Specials" sign for another zinger.

"Special on WMDs"?

Other suggestions are welcome, pending approval by Greg.

As far as I'm concerned, this idea is open for use anywhere it'll do some good.

17. How about changing the "burger king" to "bologna king"
Or something funnier. Never waste valuable meme space by

leaving the corporate logo intact

11. How about making this a postcard
and on the back at the upper left hand corner put: 'Great moments in the Bush administration: Feb 4, 2004 hamburger flipping is reclassified as a manufacturing job'.

20. One more request.
Can you change the words "Burger King" to "Halliburger"? Please please. Make it home of the Whopper with the Burger King logo but have it say "Halliburger" in the logo.

someplace, but I can't remember if it was on the Daily Show or Saturday night live or someplace else.
