Are these guys Mormons too?


Just had the DUP canvassers around the doors tonight canvassing for Willie McCrea (can you guess what constituency I live in?).  And received a very nice 8 page pamphlet with William's face on the front and the usual bumph inside.

A lot of very nice pictures inside of people doing different day to day things all saying 'We're voting DUP'


Now remembering my previous post 'I can't vote, I live in America' I wonder.............

Well, the wondering was right.  These guys have also been plucked from iStockPhoto.

Yup, you too can have a bit of 'Family fun', see a 'Farm worker', meet a 'random woman closeup', or bump into 'happy seniors'.  Still looking for the other ones.  Maybe if you find some of the other photos you can let me know?

The above picture certainly looks like endorsement of a cause to me.

I wonder if the DUP actually read the terms and conditions of the licence agreement before they bought the stock American images to put in their pamphlets and onto their posters?  You would have thought that they would have learned from the poster fiasco that was also covered by the BBC here and here.

But then again, maybe not..

Does it really matter?

If we're going to waste even more time on this whole iStock thing, it's no wonder we get the politicians and the politics we get.

Petty point scoring on some silly pics is so myopic when we've an economy in meltdown, significant budget cuts looming whoever is in government after May 6, huge challenges in health, employment and the environment, and here we go again on the model thing.

GET REAL!

Let's get on with getting the right people in place who can get this country sorted and waste no more time on ridiculous questions about images. Really...does it matter?

Thanks for your comment, Socialgandhi.

Does it matter? Well actually it does. When parties can't actually understand terms and conditions for use of photos what else are they missing in the laws coming through for NI?

Besides, its funny and raised a smile with me -so I blogged it.

I appreciate your comments and agree with your own comments on your own blog

"We believe that it is our right to think and speak for ourselves, and to be heard."

So going on your own blog (which I have to say is very good and now have you on my reader) I am speaking and thinking for myself on this blog.

On a similar vain, I'm convinced jim allister's pamphlet has a photoshoped picture of him superimposed onto some sheeps. A few of the other photos are similar.

Cheeky ;)

Though I have not seen Jim Allister's pamphlet but would be interested to know if the people are from NI or not.
