Why is the Challenger explosion going upwards? Is that because gravity is upside down in Brazil?

Great work of art, albeit hackneyed lefty propaganda - kind of the liberal nutcase version of some socially conservative nutcase montage of aborted fetuses. Visually, it is pretty damn cool. Also love the tone of the post - nothing wrong with defiantly proclaiming a... centrist take on it. There are plenty of posts on Gothamist coming from the lefty choir - not that there's anything wrong with that. Now what Gothamist needs is some obnoxious conservative contributor to heckle. Picking on Jen Chung's grammar is so damn old!

Yeah really Europe without Nazis? Like money didn't have anything to do with that.

Europe gets off easy. Even blown up I see only the slightest reference to their racism. C'mon, where are the swastikas?

Che Guevara bit the neck of George W. Bush? No wonder he's dead. A nifty piece of art, if somewhat topical. If it annoys morons, so much the better.

Those are stunning! At least as pieces of art, that is.

I disagree, I quite enjoy John's writing style and acerbic wit. And these ads are pretty cool... and I sincerely hope someone takes him up on the Bush/Liberty/Che offer, and one-ups it with Marx and Adam Smith duking it out in the background, while John Maynard Keynes shotguns a beer.
