Image is everything

[andrewducker]

While reading about Anita Roddick's current run-in with Google, I came across this image, which is just fantastic. The more I learn about people, the more I find myself believing that the imagery really does have very significant effects on society and the people that make it up. I'm still extremely in favour of freedom of speech and expression, but some of the ramfications of that do worry me.

I don't really follow...

and surely people threaten to kill each other all the time, "touch the last slice of pizza and you're a dead man". I'm not saying this was the context, but they are taking it awfully seriously.

"in this age of terrorist threats"? Could that be any more melodramatic?

Oh, I agree. My comments were solely on the image, not on the argument. I'm siding with Anita.
