This is a billboard for a New Zealand pizza chain called Hell Pizza. Alas, some people complained, and the New Zealand Advertising Standards Complaint Board upheld the complaints.
Oh well.
On the plus side:
The board ruled the choice of words was irresponsible, but the association with Mr Bush did not cause serious or widespread offence.
So it was the language that was inappropriate, not the slam at Bush. Sounds reasonable to me.

Now I want pizza.
I can’t get the link to load…. it keeps timing out. But I saw a note, I think on Snopes, about an upscale pet spa in CA that’s getting some complaints about its name….. High Maintenance Bitch
LOL! great minds… 😉
Ken, that is awesome.
There’s a famous quote by Mark Twain (yeah, I know, one of thousands) that goes: “I’d go to heaven for the climate, and hell for the company.” Unless he’s transformed into His Infernal Majesty’s jockstrap, hell is too good for Dubya.
That is the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks.
I don’t know about CA – but I do know about WA. They’re in my neighborhood – H.M.B. (tho’ I think that they did have stores in CA up until not all that long ago).
New Zealand is a very cool place. 😀
