Barack Obama Crop Circle (ok, sort of) in Pennsylvania

Posted by Xeni Jardin, October 24, 2008 3:56 PM | permalink

BB pal Nate Tyler has been working on the Obama campaign in Pennsylvania for the last few weeks. He's in Scranton, and he shares this with us:

We just came across this amazing artist in rural PA who, with a group of local artist friends, painted a large-scale replica of the Obama Hope poster in his field. I was just out there and it's pretty amazing.

"Build it, and they will come..."

My inner romantic loves that field painting.

My inner cynic sees it as an invitation for angry conservatives to abuse these people.

@1&@5: Already we seem to be hearing from the Field of Intolerance.

I think this is capital A-friggin'-Awesome!

Thanks, Xeni! This is indeed a wonderful thing. =D

@ #5, speaking solely as a professional site assessor and "Environmental Professional" pursuant to 40 CFR 312 I would say there is unlikely to be any significant environmental impact.

- Those appear to be water based tempera paints
- The total area of application is less than 1/4 acre, and the total volume applied is less than 20 gallons
- The volume of paint applied, even if were a solvent based enamel, is unlikely to do more than kill the lawn, however the growing season is over
- the area is not used for food production
- At worst a de minimus dust hazard might be created.

No fair working in the daytime. And with guidelines?? This is not a true alien endorsement, folks.
