And What Does That Make Jon Stewart?
According to some dude’s Flickr account, the above billboard advertisement is running in Minneapolis leading up to, and for the duration of, the Republican National Convention.

I wonder what funny signage is running in Denver, and if it’s anywhere near as witty and self-aware as the Daily Show’s?
