Financing Global Terror

Got a few bucks and want to make a statement about US Foreign Policy (specifically oil policies), buy some Thank You Financing Global Terror stickers. Of course, the seller makes an official statement that he does not encourage vandalism (placing these stickers on gas pumps that don't belong to you) but it's fairly obvious that's the most subversive way to use the stickers. I love the sticker, and agree that seeing one as you're filling up would get you thinking. The stickers are already becoming a big hit on the web (as evidenced by their link on such A-list sites as MetaFilter and Kottke.org).

Today's Kottke post talks about Google.com pulling the text ad purchased to promote the stickers. Apparently Google initially claimed that the stickers violated their "hate/anti" policy, but now they are running the ads again. (I would assume this is due to some public outcry.)
