Ukrainian election posters with futuristic, hottified candidate
BoingBoing reader Uldis Bojars says,
Link to poster archive, and here is Ms. Tymoshenko's campaign website.These are allegedly real photos of the pre-election posters for Yulia Tymoshenko - nicknamed "the Orange Princess" - one of the leaders of the Orange revolution in Ukraine. Her party came in second in the recent general election with ~22.4% of votes. The posters look funny - the first of is from the movie "Night Watch" while the second reminds of the TV series "Dark Angel". But I would prefer such posters any time I had to choose between these and some boring political advertising.
Reader comment: Allen Knutson says,
They may not be as hawt as Tymoshenko's, but you should credit Howard Dean's Soylent Dean posters ("My God! His campaign! It's made out of PEOPLE!") as prior art.
