UNL prof files ethics complaint, alleging Fortenberry's chief of staff threatened him over Facebook
By Joseph Morton
The vandals who defaced Rep. Jeff Fortenberry’s campaign sign have a comedic sense with all the sophistication of a “Beavis and Butt-Head” episode.
A picture of the Nebraska Republican was altered to give him oversized googly eyes, the “o” in his name was remade into an “a,” and the tagline on the bottom was adjusted to reference “strong odor.”
Despite the crudeness of the flatulence humor, Ari Kohen had to laugh when he saw a photo of the vandalized sign while scrolling through Facebook on his phone.
“It was sophomoric,” Kohen said. “It was silly. I think a lot of people saw it and kind of had a chuckle. And I clicked ‘like’ and I didn’t think any more about it.”
