I don't remember anyone saying that it was "wrong" for this poster to be created.

That is the implication that I have gathered from the intial statement and the replies in this topic. Although perhaps wrong was the incorrect word to use in my statement. A better rephrasing of my statement would, perhaps, be: Why is it this anti-Obama poster, which utalises popular culture reference as well as calling Obama a socialists, which if he is not he most definately leans towards, is stupid and not make sense? I do thank you Ares for bringing this miscommunication to my attention. |

Ahh, that makes much more sense to me now, thanks. My main issue with the Obama/Joker poster is the fact that the Joker was a promoter of chaos and anarchy, which does not seem to be what Obama is trying to do. I mean, if he is a socialist then he is trying to garner more government control, is he not? That seems to be contradictory to the anti-authority position the Joker has. Now, I suppose one could also say that the Joker was "destroying society", which could be how some people see Obama. I mean, he is reforming American society, which obviously doesn't sit well with people. However, I still don't think that that is enough reason to make this poster make more sense. I don't know, I suppose I just don't understand the message that this poster is trying to convey, it just seems like someone's attempt at humour. |

I, personally, saw it as an attempt to reference pop culture. If you didn't have the reference to socialism at the bottom, though, I would not understand it at all. |

Because my original point was that that poster didn't make one bit of sense at all (I mean, the Joker was obviously Sid Vicious/Johnny Rotten on angst-fueled steroids), whereas Bush IS Lil' Hitler.

The comparisons that Bush is Hitler both reveals a huge lack of historical knowledge and an utter devaluation of Hitler's evilness. |
