Thought you would all like to see this truck.

Look at the plate.. Ohio Heroes....make sure you look underneath and under the fenders




















Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
Had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
Had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
Had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
Feel honored to serve such a Leader who loves us.
If you believe in God and in Jesus Christ His Son..send this to all on your
Buddy list..if not just ignore..In the Bible, Jesus says..."If you deny me
Before man, I will deny you before my Father in Heaven."
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

AUGH! MY EYES! THEY BLEED!!

[FooFootheSnoo]

2. woah!!

I'm forwarding this to everyone I know because otherwise, I'll go to hell!!

[PreacherCasey]

17. hahaha... eom

[jgraz]

3. If only more people painted their trucks like this

the war would have been won years ago!

:sarcasm: (of course)

[The Gunslinger]

38. Probably some guy that never was in the armed forces too...

[Big Pappa]

53. That is so true!

On a side note though, while its a little to busy for me, it is an incredible paint job.

[calimary]

54. ...and has a lot for which to overcompensate...

[u4ic]

4. Now why I am not surprised

it's on a pickup truck? :eyes:

And why the hell isn't HE in Iraq?

[donheld]

60. "Why the hell isn't HE in Iraq?".

[uppityperson]

5. That is amazing, amazingly difficult to take in also.

Edited to add, so the basis is thank you military for sacrificing yourself so I can drive this gas guzzler?

[Fire Walk With Me]

64. Obviously he's supporting the war through copious gas purchasing.

Exxon is not making enough! Gotta be more patriotic!

[Redstone]

6. I saw that at the car show in Boston last year. I'd have vomited on it, but the

owner was right there.

Redstone

[ariellyn]

7. LOL. You actually saw the owner? Did he have a mullet? n/t

[Redstone]

19. Nah, a brush cut. Like all the He-Men Patriots have.

Redstone

[tridim]

8. What the hell does Einstein have to do with Bush's war?

That's easily the ugliest vehicle I've ever seen. I'd love to flip off that chicken hawk some day on the road.

[ariellyn]

11. I know, that mural is the most offensive of all and that's saying something. n/t

[tridim]

12. I see JFK, Lincoln, Franklin and Washington too

All people who would be calling for Bush's impeachment right now.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. I bet if one looked closely...

the artist left all kinds of subversive stuff in the details.

[ariellyn]

15. Yeah and they're in the background with Bush and a squinty-eyed Raygun up front

That's .... I'm speechless.

[seabeyond]

16. einstein, nuclear bomb, guns ... death and naked girls. that is our christian lovin

rw repugs...

[NickB79]

59. Einstein was a pacifist

He reluctantly approved of nuclear weapons research early in the war for fear the Nazis would get it first, but later begged to have the work discontinued when he realized the potential destruction it could cause, and that the Nazis were nowhere near perfecting a nuclear weapon.

Putting his face on there is like putting Jesus and Hitler on the same mural, total moral opposites. WTF???

[yellowdogmi]

76. Ding Ding Ding. I know. E=mc2.

They are about to use nukes.
:shrug:

[tridim]

78. Except Einstein was very anti-nuke

And he didn't split the atom.

[Gloria]

9. This is what we fight oil wars for!!!!!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. That's some talented custom work.

I hope that idiot paid the vanner a whole lot of money for it, enough to travel the country side spreading subversion where ever he goes.

[NuttyFluffers]

48. it really is talented custom work. too bad the whole thing looks tacky.

i wondered if a bit of the artist's soul died putting his talent into a collage so tasteless and cluttered. there really is such a thing as less is more. oh, and i could have done without seeing Bush Jr.'s face near Einstein; sickening and hilarious all in one go.

[tridim]

73. Wasted talent.

But sometimes a job is just a job. Everyone needs a paycheck.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

13. The sort of thing one must have...

To assuage the pain of a really tiny Vienna Sausage. I mean really tiny. Scanning electron microscopes and all that.

[twilight_sailing]

18. Bush & Einstein

In what universe are they likely to be found in the same image?

[Redstone]

20. Which one of the squinty fuckers is bushyboy? I can't tell.

Redstone

[twilight_sailing]

22. NNE of the color picture on the left

[Redstone]

28. thanks. I'd never have been able to pick him out otherwise.

Redstone

[twilight_sailing]

32. No thanks neccessary. You are one of my faves here on DU.

[Redstone]

33. No, thank YOU. Always good to hear that.

Redstone

[lectrobyte]

68. In that pic, the American Flag is his fender liner detail? How F'd up is that?

[Roland99]

21. Visual jingoism to the tune of 2mpg city/4mpg hwy

[eppur_se_muova]

24. Thank you , these pix begged for the work "jingoism" to be brought up. nt

[TroglodyteScholar]

23. I'd give a month's pay to see that thing go over a cliff... n/t

[ariellyn]

25. BwaHahaaaa

:rofl:

[Ioo]

26. Very misguided waste of money. Love the troops, Donate the cash to the USO...

[MrSlayer]

27. Whatever you think of the message, that is one hell of a paint job.

The jingoism mobile.

[Blue_Tires]

44. i'll give you that

the workmanship is second-to-none.....

the subject matter? YECH

[Lisa]

45. yeah -- the artist really got Bush's constipated look! (n/t)

[Megahurtz]

29. OH MY GOD!!!!

BBLLLEEEEEHHHHH!!!!!:puke:

[Dastard Stepchild]

30. Is that a bitchin' unicorn on the back of the seat?

Because that would really bring it home. It looks all mystical, and I feel like I am detecting long, white flowing horse locks.

[ariellyn]

41. "...a bitchin' unicorn.."? ROFLOL. I think that's a woman's nether-regions

:rofl:

[Dastard Stepchild]

46. Lady nethers!!

I've a sudden urge to scream. Loud. Quite loud.

:7

[rebel with a cause]

49. It is a naked lady with a length of fabric wrapped around her

with the ends flowing in the wind. The flowing fabric is what you think are the horse's locks.

Fantasy for the people in the back?

[laundry_queen]

31. If that isn't an ad

for world's smallest penis, I don't know what is.

[femrap]

72. I spewed....thx. Best laugh I had all day!

There should be some sort of hand sign that denotes that message. Every time I see a Humvee on the highway, I give the driver a sign...put my thumb and index finger about an inch or two apart. But I doubt if he gets it.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

34. what? no guiliani in drag pics?

no pun in intended.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

35. That's almost as inspiring as Jesus, or Elvis, on black velvet!

kitsch

NOUN:

1. Sentimentality or vulgar, often pretentious bad taste, especially in the arts: "When money tries to buy beauty it tends to purchase a kind of courteous kitsch" (William H. Gass).

ADJECTIVE:

Of, being, or characterized by kitsch: "The kitsch kitchen ... has aqua-and-white gingham curtains and rubber duck-yellow walls painted in a fried-egg motif" (Suzanne Cassidy).

[smalll]

36. I think that's one cool example of Folk Art,

in the expansive genre. A monumentality and baroque exuberance you find in things like those houses and gardens built out of bottles, bottlecaps and other assorted found objects. Love the interior paint job - that's what takes it to a whole 'nother level.

[wicket]

37. Bwahahahahahahaha!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[The Gunslinger]

39. Makes me feel like having a dip of Copenhagen

[bidiboom]

40. self-delete

[NoodleyAppendage]

42. Someone has a VERY SMALL PENIS...so sorry for him. Sad little man.

Freud would have a field day with this extreme example of reaction formation.

Big truck = little penis (or consistent worries about "little penis").

J

[canetoad]

43. I prefer this one

[durrrty libby]

70. That is adorable

[Gelliebeans]

80. i love that one much better

I have only owned VW's except for two years since I started driving all those many years ago.

[RPM]

47. i fucking hate ohio

starting with Columbus and extending to all reaches of that accursed state.

[Bluebear]

50. Ladies and gentlemen, the all-new 2007 JINGOmobile. nt

[OxQQme]

52. Where's Waldo?

And it's a Cadillac...........

[soup]

51. needs a trailer hitch

[aaronbees]

55. Soldier and American flag ... in the wheel well?

Tacky, just tacky.

What a monument to kitschy hyperbole. :crazy:

[bling bling]

56. I think it's a good work of art.

The artist did a beautiful job. I enjoyed looking at the pictures of it because you don't get to see something like that every day (thankfully, I guess). I almost have to admire the owner for using his money and vehicle in such a bold and powerful way to make a statement through representational art. If nothing else at least it's a little more unconventional and more interesting to look at than the traditional bumper sticker.

[xultar]

57. BUHWAWAWA!

[Norrin Radd]

58. No teary-eyed bald eagle?

I hope a real bald eagle craps on it.

[B Calm]

61. Where's President Chucklenuts on the Aircraft Carrier "Mission Acc"

[wicket]

62. kick

:kick:

[Vinca]

63. This guy's got way too much time on his hands. He ought to enlist. nt

[rpgamerd00d]

65. "NICE TRUCK! SORRY ABOUT YOUR PENIS!"

:rofl:

[ContraBass Black]

66. Technically impressive, aesthetically disastrous.

[Jim Warren]

67. Wonder what miles-per-soldier that baby gets? nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

69. !!

:puke: Because I have no words.

[MilesColtrane]

71. That's the very definition of "craptacular". n/t

[Rosemary2205]

74. I like it - link to the owner.

http://www.daleison.com

I think it's a fabulous show truck. I think there's nothing wrong with giving our hard working truckers a reason to get excited about a truck. And I think there's nothing wrong with a blue collar type person appreciating the artistry of the business that puts food on the table and roof over the heads of many many Americans. The man is down to earth and does this as a labor of love. He creates decent jobs, he isn't hurting anyone. I like it.

[shance]

75. White Male Machismo/Sexism all condensed down into a souped up Chevy.

Where the big boobed chick mud flaps?

[ileus]

77. Boggers best off road tire made...

[Bombero1956]

79. he forgot

to airbrush in Cheney in his hideyhole.
