Uncle Sam was depicted as the father of the nation, and a true patriot. The poster is made up of red, white and blue colors, further invoking a person's sense of nationalism. My poster shows what Uncle Sam is actually encouraging Americans to join, death and destruction. I stayed true to the red white and blue color scheme, but also added oranges and yellows, along with darker colors so symbolize the destruction that occurs in war. In my poster, the American flag still flies, but has been ripped…

This video had a higher percentage of positive comments, but there were enough negative comments to cause this tremendous upheaval in the mainstream media.

In an epic final stand, panic raised its flag, gaining complete control of my body.
