Alternative Election Posters

    Have just read a post about election Posters being erected and not taken down after the 7 days and it's got me thinking...

    AFAIK for the same period that these Election Posters can go up anyone is entitled to erect a Poster if they follow the same guidelines and take them down in the same timeframe.

    What message, funny or not would you include in your Poster?

    I'd go with:

    "Brain Cowen,
    the highest paid politician in Europe.
    Take a pay cut Biffo"

    How about a close-up of Uranus with an oversized waiting list for colonoscopies pinned to it?

    i did something similar, drunk, walked around by trinity with a Socialist Party banner i pull down. I started shouting that there was a free pint for everyone that turned up to the event. Despite the fact i was drunk i managed to attrack a small crowd of people asking me where and when it was on.

    I know, i was daft, and it has no relevance.

    hahahah - it's funny because she's fat!

    Ohh, you are indeed a modern oscar wilde with a wit like that, with your sharp and fresh observations which definitely aren't tired, clichéd, unfunny and done to death.

    Wit such titans of intellect like yourself i'm sure irelands problems will soon be nothing more that a distant memory.

    Why thank you...

    I am honoured to have such praised lavished upon me by someone who refers to himself as the Lord Of Cheese...(my wit obviously wasn't a matured enough level of cheese?)

    I am merely a humble man, cliches in hand. I may not be a fountain of knowledge, nor will I solve the countries problems...

    ...but I can't f**k up the country or the health system anymore than the current shower...

    And most of all I'm not anally retentive like some around here...

    :)

    I don't think you know what anal retentive actually means, or mature. It's because it's a shitty attempt at a joke, it's bad and you should feel bad.For fucks sake, it's worse than "I for one welcome...." because that was actually funny at one point.

    The unfunny, unwitty, cliched, uneducated abhorant Mr Johnny Knoxville had the fair maiden Harney at his mercy when suddenly...
    Her champion, the good Knight Sir Lordofcheese came galloping over the mountain on his white steed, rapier in hand.
    He struck down the evil Mr Knoxvile with one swipe of his sword and a few more with his sharpe tounge.
    He then scooped up the fair maiden Harney and rode off in to the sunset.
    (the horse was knacker though)...

    :) man you need to do like Frankie says and "relax"!

    Maybe a picture of Cowen and a thought bubble...

    "Social Partners? Are they not an escort service?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,457 ✭✭✭giggsy664


    Some HAS to do this.

    How about for the General Elections we do a "DeVore No.1, Cloud No. 2"

    Or even "Terry. Proudly standing for the rights of nudists everywhere"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 553 ✭✭✭Futurism


    If only I knew how to make these posters.

    This makes me recall Neil Delamare's observation, as heard on the panel.

    A Mary Harney poster out in Lucan from the last election, one of those ones that goes on the grass verge beside roads, the horizontal ones (as opposed to the ones that go on the lamposts).

    Anyway, the poster had a picture of her on it, with a slogan underneath saying:

    "Vote Mary Harney, Progressive Democrats. Dont throw it all away"

    And someone drew on at the end

    "...or else i'll eat it".


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,443 ✭✭✭Fink Goddie


    Careful now, dont mention Mary Harney, her love child (Lord of cheese) wont like it!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 677 ✭✭✭RaverRo808
