The upcoming off-year election is still two months out, but I have an early favorite for best political billboard.

This series of incredulous monochromic advertisements are paid for by Seneca, the logging company outside Eugene famous for its controversial garbage fire. They're angry about something, but it's hard to know exactly what since they're not using good communication skills. Obviously they're angry that Trimet didn't name their new bridge the Forest Dragons, and they were frustrated trying to buy iPhone 6s because the website was slow, but what did Bhutan do wrong? Perhaps this isn't about any state elections but is a holdover from the 2013 Assembly elections in Bhutan when the People's Democratic Party won 32 seats. Or maybe they hate hiking and don't know how to express themselves in English.

And what did Four More Years, the 2012 album by Teen Dazedo to them? And if they didn't mean that, why did they capitalize More and Years?

But the most fun part is the huge pile of question marks that makes it seem like the writer is a frustrated child losing at a game of hide-and-seek against local hot-button issues.

I'm trying to pull together the money now for my own set of billboards about political issues I don't understand.

Whoever or whatever the tree burners are trying to stop (or start), I just want to thank them for making my commute more fun. Keep up? The good? Work???
