It’s election day tomorrow in South Africa, and the SPCA has come up with [a nifty way](http://imgur.com/a/WJugs) to capitalize on the profusion of election posters. It makes me a little less annoyed at all the smiley cardboard faces that have been cluttering up the streets for weeks.

Those are genius - haven’t seen any in the wild, yet…is it just a KZN thing?

I agree–it’s very clever, and they’re very well done.

It occurs to me that they probably help the politicians’ images as well.

If I were a politician, I would want to be seen supporting this.

Great idea SPCA!
