President Bush Sells Pizza in New Zealand
Photo usage rights aside, President George Bush appears on a billboard which promotes a New Zealand pizza chain called Hell. Likely capitalizing on anti-American feelings, the board reads, "Hell. Too Good For Some Evil Bastards." Once George sees this, it's only a matter of time before a smart bomb finds its way across the globe and through this billboard.

Go to the site and check the billboard out. :)

4. Here is what the creator of the ad posted at SpeakSpeak News
The first anti-Bush one (’Hell has its standards’) got a chuckle to a huge laugh, but of the eight (OK, it’s not science) New Zealanders I polled about the second one (the ‘evil bastards’ one), liberals and conservatives thought it was an ad too far. The campaign hasn’t got as far as the state Advertising Standards’ Authority yet: outdoor advertisers do self-monitor, I believe.

17. Point taken.
It's just uncomfortable trying to explain to my overseas friends (and work colleagues) why the country I represent re-elected this war-mongerer. I feel that I have to work harder to gain credibility for myself as an American abroad when our foreign policy has gone to "Hell" so to speak!

I resent the neocons for this.

25. Thank you and spread the word!
The more naked these neo-cons are, the better! More people need to know exactly what PNAC has planned to do to our lives against our will and wishes. They must be stopped. My dad sure the hell didn't risk his life and limb during WW2 for creeps like this to destroy our America and our way of life.

I found some good info sheets somewhere here on DU that I want to keep spreading around too. You leave them in grocery carts and they inform people as to the true nature of this so-called conservative government and what they are trying to do (to us!) People need to hear the ugly truth.

14. "Likely capitalizing on anti-American feelings"???
Sorry pal. That's a freakin' cop out/total bullshit. New Zealand is hardly a third world backwater. No "obligitory" anti-American feelings whatsoever. How about "educated Kiwis speak their mind in a free society, based on current events"?

"...capitalizing on anti-American feelings..." Bullshit. Give thinking people a little more credit than that. The "anti-American" sentiment thing is waaayyyy overstated, usually by Freaker/Fundy types. Maybe they're just informed and GIVE A FUCK.

19. Bush hardly has the prerequisites to be the pizza delivery boy.
I wouldn't hire him. Just one look and I can tell he'd be the kind to eat the pizza and say he delivered it to the wrong address.

Glad someone has the guts to print what they think. Go NZ!

Providing Oral Pleasure since '96
https://www.hell.co.nz/index.jsp?city=Taupo

Hell first began in early 1996 next to Victoria University, and since then has gained a huge following in Wellington. After a little creative advertising (see movie section..) the name Hell started to gain a reputation. Since then the fire has spread to cover much of New Zealand with 40 stores (change city to see the hell holes) in Wellington, Taupo, Palmerston North, Hastings, Napier, Tauranga, Hamilton, Rotorua, Auckland, North Shore and now in Christchurch. Your mother.Putting the VICE in SERVICE... Hell prides itself on damned good food and great service. We guarantee to have your food delivered in the quoted time or earlier. If we are 10 - 15 minutes late then you will get free delivery. 15-30 minutes late; receive a free double pizza. Over 30 minutes late and it is free! Feel free to comment to: feedback@hell.co.nzHell is a franchise business so if you think you have what it takes e-mail us at franchise@hell.co.nz - and you could soon be owning a slice of hell!
