obama took the official oath for his second term in the white house today....
this "election" i saw months ago on some random wall in new york, i believe around chinatown... im surprised by the colors gum apparently can have...
ah, i just looked up their website; a group of people (street artists) placed them at several locations, they were also interviewed by cnn, and at the website you see pictures of the gum elections. the idea behind it is pretty cool: it was a way to stimulate people to vote, AND to have people stick their gum on a piece of removable paper (a face, actually) instead of on the ground where it will be stuck forever...

What an original way to vote, there must be a lot of bubblegum over there.
I agree with beeb. It is a very original american way to express your choice, especially for the not so old people. Must be a university town then.
