Shit, I know there have been plenty of death penalty threads. I don’t want this to be another debate over the merits of capital punishment.

So. Ahem. What exactly were these [fucknuts](http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/2001-06-15/pols_naked2.html) thinking when they took this ad out? According to the article, it’s NOT a parody.

Do they really think this will encourage people to take up their position?

That’s not a parody??  
That has to be the worst idea for an ad ever; who thought “let’s portray ourselves with exactly the image the other side accuses us of being like?”

It made me laugh… although the only thing it’s missing is a little baby Jesus figurine.
