"A council candidate in Australia is offering a cash prize to those
who can best deface her election posters. Su Groome, who is standing
for election to Cairns City Council, is offering two $100 prizes
(about �40) to the most original makeovers. A number of her election
posters are already sporting glasses, moustaches and blacked-out
teeth .... Ms Groome says the competition is promoting artistic
talent and engaging voters, who are probably sick of the signs. ...
Ms Groome admits the competition is about publicity but says it is
also about laughing at what is already being done to her signs."
