LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Forget advertising movies, underwear or perfume on billboards. That's so trite. What's hot on billboards today ranges from personals ads to requests for donated organs.
In Hollywood, two particular signs are gaining media attention. The first is a right-wing billboard funded by Citizens United that credits Hollywood's outspoken liberals for creating enough hoopla during the last presidential election to get George W. Bush re-elected.
The billboards feature Bush smiling at a podium and the faces of several Hollywood left-wingers: Barbra Streisand, Ben Affleck, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Whoopi Goldberg and Michael Moore, filmmaker of the controversial anti-Bush documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." The signs read "4 More Years. Thank You Hollywood!
The sign is strategically placed so they will be visible from the red carpet outside Hollywood's Kodak Theatre on Oscar night, Sunday, Feb. 27
