Gov. Schwarzenegger sends lawmaker special veto message: 'f--- you'
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger typically attaches a message to bills he signs or vetoes telling lawmakers why he took the action.
A Democratic assemblyman who heckled the governor during a recent event in San Francisco actually received two messages: the veto letter itself and a not-so-subtle rebuke creatively hidden within it.
Like a find-the-word puzzle, the second message was visible by stringing together the first letter of each line down the left-hand margin. It consisted of a common four-letter vulgarity followed by the letters “y-o-u.”

(Maybe I’m just extra-sensitive because of the topic of my research paper, but—regardless of party affiliation, how is this okay?)
guys, i hate to be the one who says it, but i kind of think this was fluke and became an internet sensation. i really don’t think it was intended. he’s actually a pretty stand-up guy who has no problem saying EFF-YOU when he means it. he doesn’t need to hide it in a message in the bottle.
