Political Logos

I ran into this article regarding the logos used by Egyptian political parties for the recent voting. In many countries with less than literate populations logos are a common way to pick a candidate on the ballot. Or maybe I should say in countries with less TV manipulated political news. Can we in the U.S. even imagine politics without TV ads? I don't think so, maybe we would need to actually read something.

What's the fun of that? The way we do it is to watch 20 seconds of Rich somebody getting booed off the stage without ever hearing why. These are the guys we are choosing to launch the missiles?

If I was Egyptian I would vote for the party with the stove logo. I will always support dinner getting ready.
