Take the LaVar Campaign Challenge!
LaVar Christensen's billboards are blocking perfectly good vistas around the state with the highly informative message: "America needs Utah."

Out o' Context is offering readers an on-line opportunity to respond to LaVar's bold statement. (So much better than merely muttering to yourself while driving by.)

Complete the statement "America needs Utah ..."

Feel free to use linking words, such as "like" or "because." Keep it pithy and don't be afraid to be mean spirited.

For instance: "America needs Utah ... 'cause we're righteously good and stuff!" Or, "America needs Utah ... like a hole in the head."

The best response will win a full color LaVar campaign brochure, complete with full-color photos of LaVar (with and without a tie) and a nice portrait of his patron saint Ronnie Reagan.

The real prize, of course, is fame. Remember, tens of readers log onto Out o' Context every day -- you'll be World Famous in Utah!

America needs Utah:

because, if we weren't here, they'd all make fun of Idaho. And everyone knows that making fun of Idaho is just too easy.

What is gov. untsmanhey's deep dark secret that the forces of evil use to get him to do their bidding? Hmmmm?

I can't emember exactly but I know that the media kept totally silent on the subject during the election, and matheson collaborated in the silence, i.e ran a highy "ethical" campaign.

It wa something abut Nevada and handcuffs and the fog is starting to lift.
