Picture Analysis

[beatonna]

While looking though The Boston Public Library's Flickr account, I found this picture, and decided to share with you all the reasons I find it funny. Just for fun. I see a lot of these sorts of pictures! Everything is symbolic sure, but let's do this anyway.

You have the best historical art analysis. Also, "tits out" made me laugh far more than it should. I blame becoming acquainted with the phrase "tits up" earlier today as a Briticism for "broken." I'm in England studying abroad and this kind of silly phraseology that we can exchange is priceless.

well, yes, I don't think I indicated she was otherwise!

Many, Lady Liberty loves showin' off them tits.

Um... in the tits-out painting, why has someone stolen a fallen solider's pants?! I see bush. This is most undignified.

edit: and the live guy farthest to the left is checking out said fallen soldier's exposed crotch. WHAT THE HELL, DELACROIX.

...I HAD NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE

OMFG

I am so skeeved out now. o.O

Wow. I now hear Jeneanne Garofalo as The Bowler saying: "Maybe...you want to put some pants on, if you want to keep fighting for liberty today."

You know this was the first time I ever saw it myself. Tits Out if you live but Balls Up if you die for it. hahaha. I want to live!

Let's all go Tits Out For Liberty! Can't you see the campaign posters?

[breltard95]

I'll buy the T-shirt!

[caile]

I don't think it's a campaign that's going to have t-shirts.

I was totally going to say the same thing!

Highly ironic t-shirts, sure, but "TITS-OUT" T-shirts!
