Re: European Elections (none / 1)
I saw the VVD election posters today for the first time.. Charming, and very clear on the message.

"Voortaan voor iedereen die straf verdient: straf."

Badly translated:

"For everyone who deserves punishment: punishment."

These posters are kinda easy to spoof by just gluing on a different word in place of "straf"... not that I would ever meddle with election posters. But some examples can be seen on Indymedia's Dutch site.

(My favorite is the very simple Photoshop: For everyone who deserves punishment: VVD)

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--
