I wouldn't even vote on that. And, putting a child in that poster was a big turn-off for whatever you were trying to get across. However, I do realize that you didn't design the picture, or if you did, yecch.

I "get" the irony and it is still stupid and disgusting and not something that should be put out there as some sort of sick "ironic" lesson. It's disgusting and no laughing matter.
