Fred Fnord's Comments
Just FYI, it is in no way illegal to post a public-domain picture of a public figure as part of your advertising campaign, whether they agree or not.
Or do you think that George W Bush posed for all of those anti-Bush ad campaigns, signed off on them, and was paid for them?
It's a little tougher and more risky to use someone for whom you did not get a release form; for example, if you make it appear that they are endorsing your product, and they haven't, you can get in a lot of trouble. But I don't think too many people will be confusing this billboard with Tiger Woods endorsing anyone.
I don't care about PETA one way or the other, but if you're going to comment about stuff, is it too much to ask that you have a hint of a clue about what you're talking about? Oh wait, this is neatorama... never mind.
