Bombin' Mag Misses Target With Tardy Obama 'HOPE' Parody
In a piss poor attempt to show how neutral and free thinking they are, the graffiti soaked kids over at Bombin' Magazine tried their hand at parodying Shepard Fairey's now iconic 'HOPE' campaign poster for Obama with disastrous results. Their posters feature a McCain-looking guy with the words "Independent" and "Experience not Propaganda" crammed into the bottom. Considering that the old man has already been used by News Corpse in basically the same capacity, not to mention a long line of other parodies—ours included—this thing falls flat as the as image itself. Plus their official, grammatically incorrect statement about how this poster was designed to help people "study the candidate objectively" is pure bullshit, as they conclude with the real reason for creating it: "Oh yeah, and consider these posters one giant middle finger raised to Shephard Fairey. How does it feel to have your worked jacked? Can you see me now?"

It must be the nobody reading BOMBIN' that got it that international distribution deal and why I see them at Barnes & Noble. Someone tell all the record labels and skaters and graff heads that fuck with them that they are in the wrong magazine. Hurry.

international distro deal with B&N!? Gee Willigers!!! Man, that's some serious street cred! Boy, oh boy... they MUST be authorities on political issues and i should surely take their opinion to heart. Especially 'cuz they have all the 'record labels and skaters and graff heads that fuck with them'. Phew!
