if people are having trouble understanding this, maybe u shud think about how the original iPod poster worked and how it was so effective. I think it's kinda clumsy having iRaq at the top there, and people are taking this too personally "wtf? cos i own an iPod i'm supporting the war in iraq??". Well that's not why this poster is so good. It's the silhouttes of priosner abuse in abu grade (however that's spelt). It's already fading from memory, but when that scandal hit, the media saturation was so complete that u only needed the silhoutte of the chick pointing at the prisoners cock to know exactly what it was. Are people familiar with Andy Warhol and how he played with the context of popular culture?
It's like people are cool with having corporate marketing rip-off Mondrian (and other artists) to sell shampoo bottles; but when it's the other direction, making a political statement by changing the context of corporate marketing - people have a problem with it. Sad.
