Cartoons

Fiore Cartoon: This cartoon uses sarcastic humor to get the point across. The cartoonist is against the war and he is using humor to help combat an extremely touchy subject. I think his point comes across really well and those that are for the war and those that are fairly conservative will be offended by this cartoon. I don't think that the offending is done on purpose; however, this subject is so touchy that someone is sure to be offended.

Britney Spears Cartoon: I have an eight year old daughter who just adores music and one of the artists she likes is Britney Spears. I personally have never liked Britney because I don’t think she can really sing. I have also watched her career plummet as she has made mistake after mistake. At what point is she going to learn from any of these mistakes? Sure she is in the lime light so her mistakes are magnified but I don’t think that is a good enough excuse to continue on this path. As far as the cartoon is concerned, this is every parent’s nightmare and even as I looked at the cartoon I wondered what I would say to my daughter. I would probably have to tell her that it is ok to have role models but let’s choose someone closer to your age like Miley Cyrus. I can see the sarcastic humor in this cartoon very clearly, but I hope I never hear those words come out of my daughter’s mouth.
