the Hulk image reminds me of this I ran across a little while ago. Images from a WWF promo from back in the early 90's.

The above picture (from a fake video) is an example how to fool the public with images. In 1994 a ferry sank in the Baltic and 850+ people drowned. The authorities immediately said the bow visor (a movable part of the forward superstructure of the ferry) had been ripped off (nobody heard anything) by very big waves and caused the sinking. It was badly designed! When normal people said it sounded a bit fantastic and unrealistic :rolleyes: , the authorities presented two WITNESSES!! They had not only seen that the visor had disappeared, they had climbed down on the fwd door, etc, bla, bla! :D :unsure: :o , and later jumped into the water and saved themselves. At the same time 300 people were waiting on top of the side of the ferry and the 3rd officer Tammes was sending a Mayday from the bridge stating the heel was 20°!

Cartoonization reflects simulation and artificiality. It is intrinsically a part of it.

This is the shameless promotional art for a new Tom Clancy Rainbow Six game, titled "Patriot":

Which reminds me immediately of this:
