Hilarious, yes -- but the Guernica also makes the blood run cold! Even with my blurred vision I shuddered a bit.

I think it's hilarious. Check out the one that inserts him into Guernica: http://dollarsandsense.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/pepperspray-guern ica.jpg

And here's the template so you can make one of your own: http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/images/original/000/203/419/photos hoptemplate.jpg?1321852611

Maybe there's no explaining its appeal, just like there's no explaining Warhol's appeal.
