One of the salient features of the run-up to a major American election is the proliferation of political signage. Pretty much everywhere you go, somebody is relentlessly advertising for their favorite candidate.
Which is why I found it refreshing today to see a political advertisement of a different sort. It was clearly a reference to our upcoming presidential race, but one could infer that fact only from context.
Here is what the sign said:
Any
Fully Functioning
ADULT
2020
Scary thought: there will be many people who will read that and wrongly assume the poster supports their preferred candidate.
Good point. Maybe everybody.
That’s one reason it’s funny, but I am not sure whether to laugh or cry.
