Unaffiliated billboard (anti-SMER) - Bratislava, 2010
The text reads: "I have enough (money). Have you (had enough of me)?". This funny portrayal of SMER leader Robert Fico was drawn by Shooty, cartoonist for the newspaper SME. He personally paid for several of these billboards to be displayed, and then he started an online donation fund to get others to help pay for more of them to support the cause to defeat Fico at the polls. The frown on Fico's face isn't too far off his normal expression (he almost never smiles), while Shooty has also redrawn the SMER logo (in the bottom right corner) so that it looks like a pile of smelly crap. The slogan is intended to remind voters that Fico is quite well off financially for someone who claims to speak for the common citizen (and perhaps that he added to his income through corrupt deals during his time in office).
