Unleash the nerds…
It was inevitable really…after BO’s ascension into the US Presidency, it was only a matter of time before the photoshopping nerds and T-shirt makers went to town (and I can say that with a straight face because, well, I am unashamedly such a nerd). There’s a lot out there, and I don’t want to get into the cycle of trying to capture them all. I just love the fact that we’re living in an age where fun can be poked at anyone in creative ways that, not that long ago, were the preserve of ad agency types with graphic design degrees and high-end computers. Satire is the new language of the people because the tools to create it are everywhere. Long may it last.
