Local election 1: brother or bloodsucker?

It's local body election time in New Zealand, and like weeds billboards have sprung up on street corners, fences, and vacant lots. The words 'Strong' and 'Stronger' feature on many billboards - it seems that everyone wants to be a 'Strong leader', whatever that means.

I especially liked the top billboard for its intricate play between the halo and the word 'RESURRECT' - nice religious motif there. But the phrase 'NEW BLOOD' is disconcerting ... it makes the candidate seem like a bloodsucking vampire. What were they thinking?

This billboard will be hard to beat, but there's plenty more egregious outstanding examples of election advertising around the city.
