Thoughts on these art exhibits.

Thoughts on these art exhibits.
In the US now, actually my state.

And in Israel

Enough to get your panties in a twist or not?

Edit: Guess I should give an opinion. The noose is tasteless and I don't get the point, unless it's for creating debate and I think we have enough KKK stuff out there as it is.

McJesus is just funny.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Not really.  I'm too used to hoods nooses ronald and a crucifix.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No panties bunched here. I guess I just don't get the point with either picture.

Pic 1 should have all the dunce caps over in the corner staring at the wall.

Pic 2 is just lame.

#1 is almost certainly saying something, but the juxtaposition of klan hoods circled around a noose, I'm not sure what it is. Of course, looking into it, I think it might be something akin to a race relations memento mori. Not sure if it gains any power after the initial shock value.

#2 just seems way too obvious about the influence of McDonald's on the world.

Don't know what rock I was under, but I didn't know that Ronald McDonald is dead. I guess that's just not that important to me.

......hey...that it even has shock value for you is something, right?  That's just a normal thursday for me. That could be my family table and it won't even make me stop to take a minute in thought from eating the catfish.

Honestly, not for me, someone with dozens of books about the Third Reich and the Nazis in his library, but I can easily imagine that it does for a lot of people.
