Billboard Blitz to Blast Hollywood
Posted Jan 28, 2005
HUMAN EVENTS has learned that a billboard blitz "thanking" Hollywood for the reelection of President Bush will be unveiled early next week.
The advertisements feature the faces of liberal Hollywood icons Michael Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Chevy Chase, Barbara Streisand, and Sean Penn, and offer thanks to Hollywood their help getting President Bush reelected.
Two versions of the billboard were created, both "thanking" Hollywood -- the first for "4 more years" and the second for "W. Still President."
Billboard creator Citizens United, a group that advocates a return to traditional American values, has purchased the use of three billboards near the Kodak Theatre (home of the Academy Awards) for the month of February, which includes Oscar Night, Sunday, February 27.
Asked about the campaign, Citizens United President David Bossie said, "We're taking on Hollywood. We've done it in the past." Of the organization's many actions, one of its most famous challenges to Hollywood was Celsius 41.11, a documentary exposing "the truth behind the lies of Fahrenheit 9/11," the Michael Moore anti-Bush mock-umentary. |
View the 2 Billboards here......

referring to the Billboards linked in the 1st post....
http://thirdplanet.tv/Unspun.html
See "Boomerang" video at the link by AnnaZ about "Thank you, Hollywood" billboard.
| Quote: | In 2004, a posse of Hollywood stars came out en masse to lend their hip, fabulous selves to the presidential campaign of John F. Kerry, confident that their added (and, frankly, much needed) sparkle would ensure the defeat of incumbent President George W. Bush.
Did Shiny Objects indeed distract The People? Post election, and post a rather ignominious defeat, their standard-bearer Michael Moore stated that they were indeed victorious -- that they had successfully "prevented a Bush landslide."
Was that really the sole outcome? In other words, when they returned from their forays into flyover country did they find that their thrones had maintained their elevation in their absence? |
Video is interviews with people-on-the-street about Hollywood's influence on the election (such as Moore's F911) as Anna gets their take in the billboards.
The Billboards will be a backdrop for Oscar attendees as they do the the Red Carpet walk

I will not be watching. Don't care, never have, never will. The billboards are great. In your face. That is a deserved and earned reward sufficient for the occasion. I hope Chris Rock does a performance equal to the Kerry rally in NY. I detest the whole bunch.

| OMG, some of them sure ain't getting any prettier. They should consider paying a lot of money NOT to have their pictures in public. |

Anyone know why Martin Sheen's picture was removed from the second billboard? Could it be because his head is too large?

The Oscars mean nothing to me since I am straight. Tapes of the event should be used for torture of radical Islamists. One sitting and they would tell everything they know just to avoid watching it again.
