Lauren Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 yeah, green day must not know about the existence of this poster Pretty sure it's illegal to use the band's name on stuff without their permission. Especially if it's a poster advertising a concert. It's not like it was someone's avatar or something. If the poster Son posted is the same one Iamthenemy's talking about, then I could see why Iam got confused --- Whichever artist designed that poster picked a really dark colour for Bush's skin, haha. After all, even Billie Joe admitted that Obama wasn't turning out to be as great as he thought he would be, and we all know that Green Day love shit with double meanings ...! Did he really? Where did you see that? I find it hard to believe; they seemed to be such big fans of him.

Yes, I swear I remember Billie say something of the sort! I'll go search a bit and get back to you.
iwroteholdencaulfield! Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 actually i thought the same, but if u look closely at the date you´ll see that the poster is from way back (2005) and that it´s bush A.K.A.the REAL American Idiot
caltrask Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 They were fans of Obama's when he was elected but as someone else said, they have been disappointed. Billie has said that he found his health care bill too confusing, that he wished Obama had "more fight in him" and of course, back in October during a radio interview, Billie and Mike thought his winning the Nobel Peace prize was ridiculous (it was--a slap in the face to all legitimate recipients), Billie said something to the effect of, "usually you have to create more peace before you get something like that."
Billie Kristy Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Yeah. Definitly Bush. I was a little cunfused about the whole Obama poster thing. Erm by the way. Somebody buy me that poster! It's awesome ;D
Katarina. Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Looks like Bush to me. Now it makes a lot more sense
The Grateful Green Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 this? ebay auction for it here http://cgi.ebay.com/GREEN-DAY-S-N-150-SILKSCREEN-GIG-POSTER-TODD-SLATER-/180534231857?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a08adc331 i know its not the obama, but i thought it was when i saw it yup thats the one.
Holly Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 So it wasn't Obama at all then? Makes a lot more sense, it would've been pretty weird if it had been an Obama poster. Now I want that poster! But I don't think they'll ship to the UK.
