And how dare you question this ART? Are you now saying that we must limit the scope of art in America?
How un-left of you.
Give it up. If you ask me, this is a pretty interesting piece, and it is meant to be that way. It was designed to draw attention, and that it does. Some of the shallower, younger members here (read: leftists) just would not get the marketing behind it.
I am sure though that this was personally planned by Bush and it was approved by Putin. Anyone who does not like it will be sent to the new 'gulag of our times' to be fed better than welfare food and have total personal freedom.
Hey, you guys keep talking about Bush, not me.
I get the feeling you guys are missing the whole point here. It's not a left or right thing (I know you'll have trouble with that one, but trust me, all your lefty bashing here is just making you look dumb), it's that an official poster urging MARC riders to keep their eyes open managed to remind many people of the USSR and how Russians were encouraged to watch their neighbors. I'm not too comfortable with that whole concept, and while I agree that riders can play an important security role, surely there is a marketing approach that reflects American cultural values instead of Soviet ones.
This isn't a big thing, obviously, just an odd thing that looks very out of place in this country. The only person blowing it out of proportion here is you with your imagined Bush bashing and gulag fearing comments from the left. This is just a weird poster that managed to convey an important idea in a disturbing way, why are you getting all bent out of shape?
