I don't go downtown enough to see these things myself, but somebody spotted this asinine billboard somewhere in Toronto.

Oh, what a knee slapper! What a brilliantly original dig at Chimpy McHitlerburton! The folks who thought this up and the Bay Street bookstore that bought the ad -- you just KNOW they're being made into lampshades this very second! Edgeeeeeee...

Do you ignoramuses realize that, every morning when you're still asleep, George Bush reads a daily briefing book that's the size of the GTA phone directory?

Where's your Yale (actually, Harvard) MBA at, laughing boys? (Sorry: I had Skull & Bones on the brain).

Also there's this.

(Yes, I see you've made fun of Clinton, too. But the implication of that ad -- assuming it appeared anywhere but on your homepage; see "I never go downtown", above -- was that Clinton was amoral, not that he was stupid. Which I agree with wholeheartedly.)

Tacky. Lame. Typical.

Think I'll keep my Audible membership, thanks, US$ and all.

Aw, Joey: a Fish Called Wanda quote is your idea of a scathing coup de gras now? How the mighty are fallen.

And hey Martey: you went to York, didn't you...?

Keep piling on, guys. You're just proving my point, that the average Torontonian is a smug, resentful little squirt whose idea of radical originality is the cover of Adbusters. That schtick is so 20 years ago. If you had to change places with Bush for 24 hours you'd all wet your little boxer briefs.

UPDATE: the pissing contest continues.
