Political print ads

Every time there's an election I get disappointed. Not because the voters have a memory of a goldfish and vote the same greedy idiots over and over again, but because of the print ads. I'm quite confident that half of the politicians get their ads done by their nephew whose greatest merit is that he can make the text red in MS Word.

Here's a step by step tutorial on how to make a Finnish political campaign ad:

1. Open a new document in Word or Paint.
2. Copy-paste your poorly extracted photo into the middle of the document.
3. Make a circle to the bottom-right corner of the ad and type in your candidate number in white.
4. Mention your party somewhere.
5. Make up a tagline like "For the little people" and place it diagonally somewhere. Font should be Impact.

And you're done!
