The PS3 is one of the most powerful systems out right now. Anyone who thinks the artist is linking war with fun is making that connection because they take things too literal and can't understand a clever metaphor or art.

So now I really don't like it. I wonder what program was used to create it though, it's really well done.

It's obvious the artist isn't implying bombs/war/etc are funny; he's used the image of the clown, which has evolved from a figure of fun, to one of evil and horror, to highlight the irony of his art.

A lot. My second reaction was <i>Oh. My. God.</i> My third reaction was to <a href="http://whiskeyfire.typepad.com/whiskey_fire/2008/10/pretty-sneaky-s.html#comments" rel="nofollow">link to this page</a> from a post about the wonderful folksiness of Governor Sarah Palin; who would, in her own folksy, soccer-mom and Joe-Sixpack, clownish way, destroy much of the planet should she become President. Send in the Clowns. My first reaction was to laugh. A lot.
