• Most unfortunate slogan of the campaign?

  June 2, 2009 @ 9:06 am | by Kilian Doyle

  Independent Limerick County Council candidate Richie Smith (48) urges the electorate to “cut the bull” in this recent newspaper ad.

  As Limerick Blogger points out, this is a “poor choice of words” considering his conviction earlier this year for cruelty to animals “of the most appalling kind”.

  

  Meanwhile, someone’s been having fun with the world’s cheapest computer graphics programme and a Commodore 64. The results are, predictably, awful.

  

• That’s not very nice, is it?

  Someone has been very naughty and daubed moustaches on Libertas candidate Caroline Simons’s posters along City Quay in Dublin.  

  Wanton vandalism or political satire? You decide.
