Here's a history lesson for you. The little girl pictured in the middle was burned with napalm during the Vietnam War. She was running from her village naked because her clothing had been burned off her body. The photo was a very famous one at the time, and I remember when it was first released in the press. It's a harrowing image, and a real one. I don't see anything funny about this at all.

I don't think the image was meant to be funny at all. It's a scathing attack on America that I think is actually kind of effective in a very edgy way. Also every time I see that picture I go into an emotional funk for a while. I help raise a 14-year old girl. That picture makes me think that could be her except for simple circumstances. War is hell.
