I choose two more politically humorous visuals and one used to evoke emotion. I have always felt that behind jokes there is always at least a little truth, but I feel these visuals use the humor to expose a lot of truth. Also in an age where A.D.D. is now a diagnosable disorder, humor is a great device to capture the attention of an audience. The picture of the man with Patriot duct taped over his mouth clearly shows the view that the Patriot Act limits freedom of speech. Humor alone won't sell an argument seriously, so serious images are needed to be portrayed as well.
