Letter: Hypocrisy or Different Strokes?

Does this mean Rowley defaced the flag too?
So, I can’t help but notice that on the front page of today's (August 29, 2012), there’s a picture of a Billboard showing the national flag with the faces of the Hon. Prime Minister and National Security Minister Hon. Jack Warner. 

This billboard has apparently been lambasted by the PNM on a popular social network site saying they “defaced the National Flag”.

However, looking through today's Guardian, on page A23 to my utter shock and dismay I see a full colour paid ad from the PNM with the national flag with Rowley’s face. 

Different Strokes or hypocrisy on the part of not only the PNM but the Express newspaper as well? Can someone please clarify because I am really cannot follow the logic here?

The difference between both “ads” however is that the billboard bearing Minister Jack Warner and the PM’s face with the national flag as the background was NOT sanctioned by them or the UNC but rather, it was paid for and put up by a well-meaning but misinformed private citizens as opposed to the ad in the Guardian which was paid for and approved by Rowley and the PNM AFTER they criticized the first ad. WHAT MADNESS!
