Cult of Personality 2 (Photos)

[davhill]

Now we officially live in a third world dictatorship:



There are two of these huge signs greeting commuters on I-4 approaching downtown Orlando. Are they popping up elsewhere around the country as well? I never thought I would see anything like this in America. 1984 was dated exactly 20 years too early.

[bleedingheart]

1. It's so Stalinist...

[DireStrike]

2. Wow they did quite an airbrush job on that photo.

I can look at him without throwing up!

[flygal]

3. .......

:puke:

[Pacifist Patriot]

4. Something similar on I-95 north in Florida

Nauseating and terrifying

[DireStrike]

5. I wonder how long until these signs get defaced?

[UdoKier]

6. If I lived in Orlando I would SOO vandalize that.

It would be worth a night or two in jail.

That shit would not survive one night unscathed here in SF.

Disgusting.

[deutsey]

7. How Nazi-esque of them.

:eyes:

[Fla Dem]

13. Not only Nazi-esque, but Lenin-esque, Saddam-esque,

Definitely what you would see in dictatorship, or in cults...."Our Leader" think Jim Jones and the kool-aid cult.

Disgraceful...what is this country coming to??

[BREMPRO]

8. Saddam Bush III The Bush cult mimics dictatorship

this is pathetic. Don't expect to see these up here in New England.

[BREMPRO]

9. who paid for this sign? is this a clear channel board?

[davhill]

10. The small print says so

It is a "Public Service" of Clear Channel.

[rhyfeddu]

16. WTF would clear Channel get out of...

..oh. Never mind.

Nice to know our Fearless Leader and CC can bond over world domination...
:scared:


We've stepped into a Star Trek "Alternative Reality" episode - and we're all 'red shirts'! (fellow geeks chortle)

[BREMPRO]

19. In a borg drone voice: "RESISTANCE...IS.... FUTILE...

YOU..WILL..BE..ASSIMILATED"

[rhyfeddu]

33. Assimilation seemed much more attractive...

...when it looked like 7 of 9. Nope, this isn't going to be as much fun at all...

[Liberal Mommy]

20. Interesting Clear Channel links

Clear Channel Communications Supports Democratic Process with Broad Based Initiatives

An Open Letter to the Viewers of the Late Show With David Letterman

Clear Channel Settles Indecency Claims

[Kali]

11. OMG

That is scarey. :scared:

Also nausieating. :puke:

[whistle]

12. Our leader = der Fuhrer ....

...der Fuhrer: A leader, especially one exercising the powers of a tyrant.

[Bluebear]

14. Certainly this is some plastic surgery practice's advertisement?

Is this the proposed "after' picture? 'Cause he sure doesn't look anything like that.

[Placebo]

15. Brought to you by Clear Channel...

no less.

[ohioliberal]

17. Good thing I don't live in Orlando anymore

or I'd have to destroy it sometime in the night!

[robbedvoter]

18. I added it to my essay. The eerie thing - I was just writing about the

next signs to look for "expect his face to pop on covers, coffee makers and toilet seats....

Hint, hint, for those of you in FL.

[zippy890]

24. Mein Chimpf

[davhill]

26. I'm too old to climb up there

and deface the monstrosity. I hope someone younger and bolder does though.

[GRLMGC]

23. Oh my God!

Big Brother is watching!

[DireStrike]

25. Now THAT is a scary post.

[Roxy66]

27. Kinda reminds you of all the Saddam pictures they ripped down in Iraq

[noamnety]

29. So ... who are their local advertisers?

(just curious)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

30. Any paintball fans in Orlando?

[Straight Shooter]

31. Coming soon: Billboards of bush with his eyes following you everywhere

Turn to the right, he's looking at you. Turn to the left, he's looking at you. Drive underneath, still looking at you.

Remember when you see a W logo, it stands for WORSHIP ME

[Nay]

32. Holy fucking shit. This is so Stalinist it's SCARY.

I haven't seen one in Va yet, but we are traveling to Tennessee on Thanksgiving so I will keep my eye out for these monstrosities. Jeezus. The hair is standing up on my neck. :puke:
