While this is a repost, I still cannot get over how outrageous this is. If you look solely at the child's hair, you're brought back to an earlier time in your life, your childhood. Crappy bowl cuts and your natural hair color before that blonde hair became dark brown. It invokes some sort of inner happiness, just for those few moments, reminiscing on your childhood. Then your eyes shift downward, and you see what is unmistakably Osama Bin Laden's mouth and beard. Suddenly you're filled with fury. What this man orchestrated was atrocious. His mouth open, about to spew some anti-American vomit from it. The words themselves also act as an emotional factor in this picture. Mushrooms bring to mind a sense of mental instability, the inability to control your own thoughts willingly. "If you shoot a duck" makes the reader anxious. Why would you want to shoot a duck (because they're so goddamn cute) and the word shoot in itself is a very aggressive word. The frightening reality of the picture as a whole is that while it screams emotions at the viewer, we are all connected by the single underlying fact: Toasters are fucking terrifying.

I figured it had made it on here at some point before...my buddy just emailed it to me and all i could think was what the flying shitbag fuck.

This is a great interpretation - easy to follow along, and I'm agreeable to everything you have said. Well put my friend.
