 The bumper sticker is fake of course. I just had to do something with Bush for this challenge! I knew it would be polarizing. I tried to keep the bumper sticker "side ambiguous", if anything leaning towards pro-Bush, since that's what makes it stupid!

Plus the stupid part of this is that there's no third term possibility for Bush, though he's trampled on all the other laws, so why not that one?

In any case, it was polarizing--I expected a bimodal distribution, and I got a mild one.

Note that if you drop all the 1's and all the 10's, the image gets a more respectable 5.71.

The real downside as I see it, after the challenge, is that Bush is still president. :(

That could have been a very boring shot, but you did a great job making it interesting. I really like the low pov.

Where do I get one of those? Can the "Commander in Chief" really get another term? After all, 9/11 changed everything, right, and we got to stay the course on the infinite war on terror.

Like the perspective, I'm sure you're going to get a lot of positive and negative comments on this. Good luck!

It is a pretty stupid bumper sticker, but it doesn't show an act or situation that makes me think 'how stupid'. Maybe find who owns the car and see if you could get a shot of them putting another stupid bumper sticker on? That would be pretty good. Nice effort.
