Oh looky, it’s a campaign poster from that terrible man. Add this wretched design to his long list of crimes against humanity. [Copyranter]
CAMPAIGN POSTERS
Is that the extremely rare Hitler Afro-Stache I see?
p.s. “I am aware of all internet traditions.”
And might I remind you that there hasn’t been a terrorist attack on Zimbabwean soil since September 11, 2001, and that’s not just by chance.
That mustache says it all.
Avocado green, very nice. Maybe it’s melon green. Whatever.
This is actually a fair and accurate poster. You just need to read it as it is meant to be read “All good things are possible [for Robert Mugabe]“. From his perspective, life is peachy!
Mugabe’s a Paultard?
…how much would it cost to have 2 guys carry you around anyways? Gas prices are a bitch!!!
All good things are possible, they’re just not going to happen.
Zimbabweans are truly lucky that during these difficult times their leader can still remain so positive & inspiring.
…then again, maybe it’s ’snot green’.
Oh that Mugabe is one green-loving, earth-friendly kinda guy.
Any opposition will find themselves 100% dead, totally.
Kinda looks like a used car salesman. Kinda acts like one.
Spence:
It would actually be less scary if it were a moustache.
All good things are possible - for me to POOP on!
TGY: It’s either faded or some kind of gradient of melon and lime green.
Vote Mugabe or be brutally beaten! ALL GOOD THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
…I didn’t know Karl Rove summered in Zimbabwe.
imatter:
To clarify… I’m fairly sure Mugabe just has an extremely deep cleft under his septum. Don’t know if it’s technically a cleft palate, since his upper lip is intact.
AxmxZ: FTW. Mugabe and Triumph the Insult Dog: separated at birth?
There’s little that’s funny about Mugabe, apparent Hitler ’stache notwithstanding. Seriously, hearing about the things going on over there makes me physically ill. His butchery, old-school authoritarianism, racism (where is it exactly that third or fourth generation white or otherwise non-black Zimbabweans, who see themselves as distinctly African, are supposed to “go back” to?), shocking corruption and kleptocracy, and Kim Jong-Il-ian delusional behavior make this guy (to use an Olbermanism) truly the worst person in the world.
I’d even give Dubya the requisite props should he step in and help effect some Regime Change in Zimbabwe. But, oh, what’s that? There’s no oil and the place is full of black folks? Oh. I won’t be holding my breath then.
Botswana Meat Commission FC: I’m pretty sure it’s actually a mustache.

cantabrigia: right, we only notice, or intervene, in horrible situations when there is oil we need to get our hands on. (Burma? where’s that? Sudan? huh?). Or we ignore the crisis and just pretend everything is fine because they buy lots of cigarettes and Coke (China, Saudi Arabia).
tunamelt: Yes. Reminds me of Midori with lime, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it kinda sucks to have R. Mugabe floating around in it wielding a paper umbrella. Definite buzz-kill.
ReelectTilden: I think it’s poop.

ALL GOOD THINGS ARE POSSIBLE is kind of lame.
Just brainstorming here, but what about: I will kill my opponent and his family. Then I will kill everyone who votes for him and their families. Then I will live forever.
Is that the same green background McCain gave for his recent speech on why we’d be idiots to elect him?
All good things are possible…including a happy flashback dance move by an 84-year old dictator!!!
Just think, he’s older than McOldster, twice as batshit crazy, and still a dancing machine!
“I Know That You Believe And I Believe That All Good Things Are Possible.”
So, this candydate is offering hope, but without change?
McCain not only has an illegitimate black baby, but also an illegitimate black doppelganger.
When I was a younger man, I loathed Ian Smith and his totalitarian hammerlock on Rhodesia. How nice to know that I can now loathe his black successor for all the same reasons, without the additional requirement of bigotry.
“I don’t believe in black majority rule in Rhodesia…not in a thousand years.” Ian Smith
“It could never be a correct justification that, because the whites oppressed us yesterday when they had power, that the blacks must oppress them today because they have power.” Robert Mugabe 1980
“This Hitler has only one objective: justice for his people, sovereignty for his people, recognition of the independence of his people and their rights over their resources… If that is Hitler, then let me be a Hitler tenfold.” Robert Mugabe 2003
Mission accomplished, arsehole!
Is that Walnuts in the hammock?
I’m not sure they used Photoshop or Illustrator for this. As an editor who looks at newspaper and magazine layouts all day long, this makes my eyes bleed. I know freshman design students who could do better. Anyone who dares put up posters like this deserves to win big.
ReelectTilden: It’s actually a deep philtrum:

You guys, come on with the insulting green theories. It sounds so western and whitey.
A casual observer will note the preponderance of green in the national colors of African countries. Green represents the abundant natural wealth of Africa. For me to poop on.
Does Mugabe actually wear suits that color? It sort of glows like something Prince would wear, or like the moss on an alien meteorite that plunged into rural Zimbabwe. And where can I get one?
Ugh, Impact. Hey another in the long line of war crimes Microsoft has committed against typography.
i’d say it’s more like 60% empowerment. let’s not exaggerate here
Mugabe obviously learned photo layout and ad design from the same guy who taught his civics classes. A+!
ReelectTilden:
OK. I just spent an extremely unappetizing 5 minutes searching for Mugabe headshots and the best I can come up with is that it’s a combination of extremely deep philtrum in his upper lip as well as a very carefully groomed moustache that he sometimes grows in it (but other times is clean shaven).
No matter what it is, it makes him extremely fucking weird looking the more you see his photo.
TGY: I’m pretty sure it’s soylent green.
That’s not change Zimbabweans can believe in.
His motto had to be trimmed down from the original: “All Good Things Are Possible When You Keep Printing Money Except When The Inflation Rate Soars To 100,580.2%, Then The Good Things Start Seeming Kind Of Impossible!“
“All good things are possible”
So I will get to have sex with a super-model?
He just sent me an e-mail the other day stating he needed to get “several million” out of the country quickly, and could he have my checking account number. Although intriguing, I’m a little skeptical.
The Harare Herald. All the news that’s fit to print for just over 10 million Zimbabwean dollars. I mean, 20 million dollars… I mean…AW FUCK this hyperinflation!
Everything is possible at zombo.com
“All Good Things are Possible…Hell, have you seen that inflation number?! Who knew it could even GO that high? bwa hahah! Hey, you might even get to eat….POSSIBLY. Just like I might POSSIBLY shave off my perpendicular hairlip! BWA HAHAHAHA!…..(where my bitches?)”
Wait, didn’t Zimbabwe kick out the white opporessors almost thirty years ago? What’s next, Obama promising to bring the hostages home from Iran?
Not *completely* off-base in his comment about the British, however.
1. Keep Boston ward politics alive! Thank you, President Mugrabby, thank you.
2. donner_froh: “Eat” not just “kill”.
Akl things are possible,
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small.

Then again, this mighr be merely a photo of the last Ford shareholders meeting.
cantabrigia: I think we find where R.G. lives and bomb the living fuck out of it. And then bomb it again. After all, the Army is bitching about the USAF not pulling its weight in the GWOT/Iraq cockup. So why not put the flyboys to work? Just make sure y’all use the Google Maps of Harare; if you use the CIA’s maps, you bomb the Chinese Embassy by “mistake.”
Jewdishoowary Square: That’s just how Mugabe rolls. I swear to god he’s actually [i]trying[/i] to taunt the British into retaking Zimbabwe.
That scene of the Great White Hunter being carried around may look bad on first pass, but at least those porters were well fed…
I thought this was on TUCC brochure.
surprised not to hear at least a reference to the not-so-recent movie, “The Interpreter” (Nicole Kidman, Sean Pean) in this thread. I’d say whoever wrote the script had ESP…. at least in regard to Mugabe, no matter how he rolls. oh BTW the Mugabe character, cleverly named ‘Mutambo”, figures he’ll be a more sympathetic figure at home and abroad if he is ALmost assassinated…Nice Backass spin.Could still happen. Fairy tale ending : Mr. Mutambo was caught, had to hold legitimate primaries.. Yes, this is Hollywood. We’ll finish all home repair and heart repair in 25 minute segments, ok?
Why does that 100% Empowerment shit remind me of a cereal box?
Fruit Loops: “Fortified with 11 essential vitamins and minerals and low in fat.”
Mugabees: 100% Ego Empowerment
with the added bonus of No Shit For You!
Smoke Filled Roommate: Aw, sheesh. It’s Froot Loops.
Fuck me.
Mugabe is great! Americans haven’t been this interested in African politics since Idi Amin merged political rivalry and Haute Cuisine! I mean, political rivals INTO Haute Cuisine!
You people go on and on, bitching and moaning. I just got an email and sent $3,000,000.00 to Mugabe-lotto. I’m going to get a check for bazillions! Eat me, serfs!
