About Social Media Today
As many of you know, the parliamentary elections in Iraq are underway. Some of our folks over in Iraq took photos of these billboards, which we’ve dutifully translated and posted below. Pay particular attention to the iconography on the posters; which is significantly less subtle than the images used in today’s American political campaigns. As always, we welcome any comments.

Our translators were unsure about the significance of the clock; they thought that maybe it was to remind people what time the polls open on election day.
