Potholes can be a real problem and a real annoyance. Aside from possible damage to cars, riding on pothole ridden roads is not a pleasant activity. Usually money for fixing the roads is taken from the subsidies inside the gas prices, but apparently sometimes it doesn’t. Politicians care mostly for their PR and image, so a clever grup of bloggers from Ura.Ru decided to combine the two on the streets of Yekaterinburg, Russia. Over the night faces of three prominent politicians from the city were painted over the potholes in a way, that the holes were their “big mouths”. Each also had a quote of a promise made and not kept. The result? It has gone viral worldwide and after an attempt of a cover-up, they actually fixed the roads! Maybe it’s a good idea to do everywhere? After all nothing puts politcians to work better, than bad press ;)
