Next time I'll post on something more substantial, I promise

Say, all of you remember this entry? Wow, that was a long time ago, relatively speaking. So what made me think of it? Well, I had finally gotten around to clearing all the junk out of my room recently, and I came across the magazine the original article was from. And when I was idly flipping through it, as I usually do before throwing something away, I came across the following ad.

I know you can't really see it too well (in case you can't, I'll note that it includes dead!Caesar-like figure, woman in blood-red dress, woman with half-eaten apple, and someone dressed in a modern take on late 18th century fashions, armed with a dagger--presumably the same person her stabbed dead!Caesar-like figure), but somebody please tell me I'm not the only one disturbed by the symbolism and context... You see, it seems fairly obvious to me that it has something to do with the Revolution, and I can think of a few more specific meanings but they're all rather distasteful. Then again, the whole magazine, as you might have surmised from the article is rather distasteful, so perhaps it's better to leave it there. >.> Still... thoughts?
