4chan is not real life. Sure, you will get truly epic lulz but in reality it will only be used against to add another label to go along with the pedophile one.
- b1n 5y agoI agree that any good PR firm could use the meme to its advantage. I put about a 10% probability that the slogan was chosen because it is so bad and easily subverted. A backlash to a backlash is worth a few extra days of free coverage. RE: 4chan. I think you might be projecting. I actually think the Anne Frank thing would cut through in the real world.

- b1n 5y agoI think I see what you're getting at [1]. I think that in this case the image is effective as a counter to the argument being presented in the campaign. - It shows that there are other categories of people who have legitimate reasons to want privacy and not to trust the authority of their country. - It does it in a way that would not require explanation to anyone familiar with Anne Frank (including lots of people from UK).
