I think this is one of the most interesting works I've seen. They all make you think about what kinds of things are true and what we accept or settle for in our society. I think the mix between the funny and serious ones is a good way to throw people off balance because you read one and you laugh and then the next one makes you sad or angry. It's a very interesting read.

I think this would be more effective if everyone realized that it was originally put up as posters around the city of Manhattan. It wasn't intended to be in a museum, but instead to send out a message.
