  • TomTruelle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+88Sounds like some sort of female hair removal lotion.
  • whatthefu, on 10/10/2007, -2/+68'Another resident said, "It's pretty impressive. It has a pretty deep meaning."'

    Uh not that I disagree with the message, but it doesn't have a deep meaning at all..?
  • Skanadian, on 10/10/2007, -2/+30If someone takes enough time to write a message in a giant field that can be read by a satellite telling you to GTFO, you should take the hint that you're doing something wrong.
  • digichris, on 10/10/2007, -4/+30This will get blurred out in a few days, ala Dick Cheney's request.
  • whappo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28Warning: If you don't have enhanced high-speed internet, this image will a long time to download.

    /s.
  • legendxx, on 10/10/2007, -3/+25you realize by spamming digg this much you're probably driving more people away from ron paul
  • tehrob, on 10/10/2007, -16/+35found it :)

  • LordRahl72, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I was at one time interested in this Ron Paul guy and his politics. But thanks to people like you I am so sick of anything about that bastard that it will be a cold day in hell before I would ever vote for him.

    That and nothing in the world could ever convince me to back ANY politician from Texas.
  • kenvsryu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Here come the black helicopters.
  • UltraPenguinX, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16I was waiting for generic Digg #927361 to post...

    it is kinda funny though !
  • hmunkey, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16Are these Ron Paul spammers bots?
  • frackmaster, on 10/10/2007, -8/+20How about a Google Maps link...otherwise this is sort of stupid
  • frackmaster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10In the video clip on the news link, there was a little blip on the big Massachusetts map...I zoomed in on that region in Google Maps and searched around for ~5 mins
  • Eska, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I think that would give away the land owners address...and if you had read the article, you would know that the land owner wished to remain anonymous.
  • Azur3us, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8it would be harder to read if all green
  • jonathanforpres, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9slow news day? send out a camera crew and interview people who have no idea or care that its there!
  • orph3us, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8how'd you do that?
  • alexf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8It's funny that it is in one of the richest towns in MA.
  • monkiboi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Are we sure this isn't a marketing ploy for a hair removal product. "Bush be Gone...at stores nationwide."
  • Jebral, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6He meant himself, I think.
  • Farmer77, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10BUSH BE GONE!!
  • kingfoot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7This will get blurred out in a few days, ala Dick Cheney's gun.


    there fixed it.
  • clarionhaze, on 10/10/2007, -7/+12dugg because i like it, i'm into it.
  • watcman, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8i agree - before he kills off the planet!
  • badjoke, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Can we please get a medium or small version of the picture? The intense detail of the corn is detracting from the overall picture.
  • youngdigg, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Hope they are up to date on their tax
  • SSCrow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I think its a Pun.
    Everything has grown around it. So the Message is physically deep.
  • jgclark123, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Right, he's saying that it _should_ say "Bush Begone". I think he's right.
  • limezor2, on 10/10/2007, -6/+10http://img.viacomlocalnetworks.com/images_sizedimage_235174602/lg
  • Tabou, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8It definitely said "be gone" in both the article and the video.
  • MellerTime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4That's in the small type you can't see from space...
  • MellerTime, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Assuming, you know, you believe in that Hell place... Otherwise they'll just rot in the ground for all eternity. Come to think of it, that doesn't sound half bad either...
  • 0ceanic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5those satellite images dont update everyday. im curious as to how it was coordinated. was the guy aware of the satellites' orbits. or was mowed (salted, burnt, whatever) in there for a very long time.
  • siszam, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Doesn't spending tax money to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans and Iraqis embarrass you? How about America being the only western nation without universal healthcare? I'd say you Bush supporters have a lot more to be ashamed of than any other group.
  • computergod, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Why???
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Coming to a store near you.
  • mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Spoken by the same kind of people that think they can get rid of a president by mowing their lawn. This is about as effective as a bumper sticker.
  • VirtualCtor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You care about apathy?
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -6/+9"It's a free country and they can say what they want to say. "

    Yup, and so is Iraq. Thank to our brave troops. Bush and Cheney are cowards and will burn in Hell for their sins.
  • Dumbledorito, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Iraq's only "free" on paper. Whether or not the government is the one who's separating your head from your body for being on the wrong side of their religion, you're still under the gun.
  • MellerTime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3There was a video? Holy crap!
  • Tenareth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The person that did it wasn't aware it was on Google Maps, so was pure luck. (Watch the ENTIRE video next time).

  • monsterenergy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3or maybe its a wheat field...
  • JMIJohnny, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Why again, is this front-page news?
  • s1ade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2and people still do like muffin..
  • mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2People do still own Powerbooks.
  • Smills, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Puberty is a tough time, but don't worry, you will get through it.
  • MeneerR, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No the goverment does. Ehm, wait .. hang on there .. isn't Bush somehow related to the government?
  • mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I wouldn't really consider mowing one's lawn an act of protest. It's a little passive agressive, like a bumper sticker. Stuff like this never really accomplishes anything. Expressing your anger in three word phrases is about as useful as shaking your fist in the air. Information is the only thing that will change anyone's mind, if even that.

    If you want to get our president out of office, vote. Educate people with information. Talk to people that are open-minded. Those are the only things that will make a difference.
