Funny poster boy
Two months ago I was called by one of my opponents regarding the idea of a poster free campaign. I agreed and it was put to the other candidates. However they would not do so. As a result the poster farce began.
During the 2002 general election Fianna Fail came up with a new snazzy type of poster which, as the campaign went by, changed from having a dark background to a bright one. Very impressive indeed. But not as impressive as what my posters can do.
I have purchased posters which over time change from images of myself to ones of my opponents. The names on the posters also change to that of my opponents. I have contacted my supplier and they are baffled. They cannot fathom it. They have suggested that maybe someone has been taking down my posters and replacing them with their own. Surely not?
Just in case this happens to be true I have contacted the Gardai and they are investigating the matter. In one particular town the Gardai are checking CCTV footage to see who the culprits may be. If the footage helps catch the offenders I will have to thank the person who is responsible for putting up the cameras. Irony of the highest order given that if my hunch is correct it will be the same people who put up the cameras who have taken down my posters. Maybe not though. Maybe my printers are playing a trick on me.
