Artwork and the half-truth

BamsterAsTheJoker Two days ago when I saw for the first time the poster portraying the Bamster as the Joker my first thought was “Wow, Simply Brilliant!”. Until now I still hold that initial reaction.

And the reason is that if one intends something to be funny or sarcastic, then this something has to hold some truth into itself. This poster hits the target. It is full of truth - simply brilliant.

On the other hand half-truth is intended for propaganda purposes. There is nothing funny about it.

My opinion is that, all efforts that go into the half-truth, generated by TOTUS (cf. baracksteleprompter), make the Bamster to be very serious and cold.

But like in the ancient saying that puts it like, “the one who laughs the last, has the best laugh”, we shall see…

The only regret I have is that I didn’t come with this poster myself. I guess I have to think faster.
