11. That is too polite. Fermez is the second person plural which is
a sign of respect of a decent way of saying "you". To say "you" singular is really an insult. This is "you" plural.

Fermez should be changed to Fermes (or something) in order to make it more insulting. You would only use second person singular in French on someone you consider to be like a cockroach. Fermez shows too much respect for Bush.

We need to "tutoiler" this slogan. "Tu" Fermes ta Bush! (And you don't pronounce the es like you do with the ez).
