I love Jordan and Shag's responses and thought, to get all pop psychological on our collective ass,... it also seems a way of appropriating the image to soften it's blow: Hell, Mr. Policeman, if you're willing to pepperspray college students, how about kittens?! ... and then you're off and running such that some of the downstream spray/play is really creative, some of it is really odd, some of it just plain lame (in either or both the poorly executed and wtf realms), much of it is wholly apolitical and some of it is really provocative but all of it hurts less.
