I guess we're not doing that anymore

One of the more exciting recent guerilla advertising projects proposed by our as-yet nameless guerilla grape artist partner has been canceled due to problems encountered during a trial run in the Denver area. While we honestly believe that if she had started with the GNU Public Dictatorship ads instead of an ad maligning golfer Tiger Woods that the public reaction would have been very different, our artist has recommended that we not go through with our plan. In her words, "your current supporters would indeed be thrilled, but the general public would get the wrong impression of the intent of your organization." She went on to explain that for an aspiring group of world leaders the fact that they were even tangentially connected to a "product tampering" scandal would scare potential supporters away. I guess she's probably right, but it sure would have been fun to change all of the Nutella jars to GNUtella jars.
