Default Colon Cancer Congratulates Santorum on I-95

Has anyone seen the billboard on I-95 north in South Philly which is a Colon Cancer group advertisement congratulating Senator Santorum for his support of their cause?

Is that considered a political advertisement? I'm guessing its not, but that seems like such a back handed way to support Santorum.

Your thoughts on this?

Too ironically funny in light of sex columnist Dan Savage's promulgation of 'santorum' as a new word for the by-product of a sex act involving the colon (you could google it, but you may not want to).

It's not so much a "back handed" way as it is, ::ahem::, "ass backwards" :dancehal:

Santorum and the colon. They go together, it 'works', if you will.
