Warning: The ax of this cigarette will be used for building Cross-country Canal Project. Do you still want to smoke it?

I found this picture while surfing around the internet and I laughed when I saw this picture. I thought it was really creative because it shows issue of Cross-country Canal Project not seriously and furiously and gives me an idea that issue of Cross-country Canal Project is much related to my life. (Even though I dont smoke, I can buy it and many friends of mine smoke.) Ive disagreed with that project because of environmental and historical reason but I didnt realize that the taxes I pay are the money that the government uses for this project. Even thought I was paying many taxes, I was indifferent to usage of that.

This little picture changed my mind and made me realized of whats going on around me. It also gave me an idea that talking about issues doesnt need to be serious all the time. I saw or participated in many social movements and gatherings and many times those were too serious or furious of each issue and because of that ordinary people feel uncomfortable with those movements and gatherings for being forced to be serious also, even though activists didnt intend to.

I dont agree that so all the movements and gatherings should be funny and cultural but I agree with the idea that we need more creativity in social movements. We have to be serious of what we are talking about but we can be creative in methodology.
