Reminds me of this WPA work site poster I found a while ago.

Chomping on the bread that makes Homer funny.
A photo of ‘Schwarzwälder dark rye bread’ - a (bad) pun due to similarity with the name of infamous Simpsons writer John Swartzwelder.

Classic J.P.McDade tweet reading: “You think you could live in Canada, but then you find out they call Kermit the Frog "Green Dennis" or something and the deal is off.”

In light of recent news, it’s time to revisit a classic defense of foreign film and diversity writ large.

“When the world is fragmenting into groups of intolerance, ignorance and hatred, film is a powerful tool to knowledge and understanding.”

www.nytimes.com/1993/11/25/o...
Scorsese letter to the Editor New York Times): (Abridged first paragraph): It reminds me of a beer commercial that ran a while back. The commercial opened with a black and white parody of a foreign film-obviously a combination of Fellini and Bergman. Two young men are watching it, puzzled, in a video store, while a female companion seems more interested. A title comes up: "Why do foreign films have to be so foreign?" The solution is to ignore the foreign film and rent an action-adventure tape, filled with explosions, much to the chagrin of the woman. It seems the commercial equates "negative" associations between women and foreign films: weakness, complexity, tedium. I like action-adventure films too. I also like movies that tell a story, but is the American way the only way of telling stories? The issue here is not "film theory," but cultural diversity and openness. Diversity guarantees our cultural survival. When the world is fragmenting into groups of intolerance, ignorance and hatred, film is a powerful tool to knowledge and understanding. To our shame, your article was cited at length by the European press. The attitude that I've been describing celebrates ignorance. It also unfortunately confirms the worst fears of European filmmakers. Is this closed-mindedness something we want to pass along to future generations? If you accept the answer in the commercial, why not take it to its natural progression: Why don't they make movies like ours? Why don't they tell stories as we do? Why don't they dress as we do? Why don't they eat as we do? Why don't they talk as we do? Why don't they think as we do? Why don't they worship as we do? Why don't they look like us? Ultimately, who will decide who "we" are? -Martin Scorsese

I guess in retrospect we were all slightly wrong on this classic cartoon, so here’s an update for 2025.
Classic Obama era ‘what the President does’ political cartoon edited to show Trump rocketing on both ‘gas prices high’ and ‘economy bad’ levers.
