To me this seems to symbolise a different message: "Brave women stopping the progress of capitalism" think what you will of that message... Turn her 180 degrees

To me this seems to symbolise a different message: "Brave women stopping the progress of capitalism" think what you will of that message... Turn her 180 degrees on the other hand and it's clearly conveying the message "brave women lead the way of capitalist progress, and is backed up by the strength of the finance system" Personally I prefer the second version..

>Turn her 180 degrees on the other hand and it's clearly conveying the message "brave women lead the way of capitalist progress, and is backed up by the strength of the finance system" Or girl who isn't paying attention about to get wrecked by a bull.

Maybe 180 degree turn and put her side by side with the bull

  That would probably be preferable and more difficult to missenterpret, as some users above pointed out my setting could be, however I don't know how/if it would fit the landscape they're placed on.. Wouldn't want the girl to face oncoming traffic instead of the bull...

More like "watch our fund" (that just happens to be wrapped to the eyeballs in nauseating marketing playing on gender politics) face down the dangers of the financial market. After all a "bull market" is slang for a market going up up up. In effect marketing is doing to feminism what it did to punk.

But if we're all being trampled by the finance system, then endorsing it is hardly the intended message here. I think it's legitimate to use art to represent shifts in the zeitgeist. It ain't the Eighties anymore, and the Bull sure as hell did not represent an end to financial crashes and catastrophes. Hell, the Bull predates Enron. I think it's wholly legitimate to re-examine notions like 'the strength of the finance system'. There's a saying that insanity is making the same mistake over and over. The Bull is in a sense the perfect artistic representation of this very mistake.
