you know it is kind of sad that society has to poke fun at such a tragedy…yet at the same time it is pretty ingenius and hilarious…..I would love to get a copy of one

I don’t think it’s so much “poking fun” at a tragedy, but rather making it aware through sarcasm.

OHOHOH, two dosages of wit make for a delicious poster against evil tyranny in foreign nations carried out by Bush, Dick, and Colon.

Definitely not a funny-“poker”. Using pop cult to shed light on these recent atrocities makes for very attention-grabbing criticism. Good on them.

There is nothing wrong with this type of sarcastic/witty comment.  Unfortunately, in today’s “I don’t care world” something like these parodies are the only way to wake people up to what is really going on in the world.  A lot of people would rather focus on their iPod than the suffering of people across the globe.  Well said Steve, good on them.

Sue?
I think its really amazing that someone has the guts to actually protest against these ignorant acts comitted in Iraq. Nowadays people like that are few and far between.

Congrats to whomever did this and if possible I would be interested in printing more to put up here in Montreal.

Agreed. Protest/awareness—and done with humor, like a political cartoon. I approve.

Please don’t be ignorant BOB.

As for these posters, they are quite clever, what with the white wire silhouette (headphone wires)...THe strip,pix,burn thing is by the gizmodo site though, not the poster creator..

These are definitely NOT a joke, NOT making fun or light of the situation. They are a sarcastic remark on the shamefulness of the persons involved in this scandal, a reminder of how unjust this war is, and it reaches a lot of people due to its cleverness and parody of such a popular item and brand.

Wow…that is disturbing, yet witty and funny in a way.  Whoever created that add did so in an ingenious way.

HILARIUS, when I first saw it, I just bursted out laughing, very funny. I cant imagine any one suing someone for it.
