Censorship or Copyright Infringement? Flickr Takes Down "Obama as Joker" Photo
,----[ Quote ]
| Los Angeles residents recently began seeing a new sort of Obama poster
| plastered across their city. Instead of promoting "hope," these posters
| feature U.S. President Barack Obama wearing the Joker's clown makeup from the
| Batman movie "The Dark Knight." Even those outside of L.A. have likely seen
| this image somewhere as it soon took on a viral nature, appearing both online
| and in other cities across the country.
