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?

4.7 of the iStockPhoto licence agreement reads,

Prohibited Uses. You may not do anything with the Content that is not expressly permitted in the preceding section or permitted by an Extended License. For greater certainty, the following are “Prohibited Uses” and you may not:

use or display any Content that features a model or person in a manner (a) that would lead a reasonable person to think that such person uses or personally endorses any business, product, service, cause, association or other endeavour; or (b) except where accompanied by a statement that indicates that the Content is being used for illustrative purposes only and any person depicted in the Content is a model, that depicts such person in a potentially sensitive subject matter, including, but not limited to mental and physical health issues, social issues, sexual or implied sexual activity or preferences, substance abuse, crime, physical or mental abuse or ailments, or any other subject matter that would be reasonably likely to be offensive or unflattering to any person reflected in the Content, unless the Content itself clearly and undisputedly reflects the model or person in such potentially sensitive subject matter in which case the Content may be used or displayed in a manner that portrays the model or person in the same context and to the same degree depicted in the Content itself;

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..

SCOOP: Sir Reg for South Antrim

Sir Reg for South Antrim

There have been many questions hanging over the constituency of South Antrim for a number of weeks and months now.

One being who is going to be the Conservative and Unionist candidate.

Tonight that question has been answered.

The Conservative and Unionist candidate will be Sir Reg Empey MLA.

At a UUP South Antrim Association Officers meeting this evening (Wednesday 7 April) the issue was discussed and the name of Sir Reg Empey MLA, Leader of the UUP, going forward as the South Antrim candidate to fight in the 2010 General Election was fully endorsed by the members present.

It seemed have been a fairly focussed meeting, purely discussing the candidacy and the processes surrounding it all.

And in the end it was agreed that Sir Reg is the candidate for South Antrim.
