Presidential Auction 2004

Hey, nice going, pranksters. (And thanks again to Maru for the link.)

The Bush-Cheney presidential campaign disabled features of a tool on its website Thursday that pranksters were using to mock the Republican presidential ticket.

The tool originally let users generate a full-size campaign poster in PDF format, customized with a short slogan of their choice. But Bush critics began using the site to place their own snarky political messages above a Bush-Cheney '04 logo and a disclaimer stating that the poster was paid for by Bush-Cheney '04, Inc.

Among the slogans the Bush-Cheney campaign pumped out before catching on:

'Five hundred dead soldiers support Bush-Cheney '04.'
'A boot stomping on a human face forever.'
