“Just Us Sunday” seems to beg to be observed in “Justice Sunday”.<\/p>\n
I saw in my Site meter this evening someone had done a Google search for “Just Us Sunday” that led to here and then later another Google search for “Just-us” Sunday that led to Adult Christianity. I went over and checked and see that on the 15th Adult Christianity<\/a> made a posting “Just Us” Sunday that talks some about the characters involved and raises the cinematic specter of Samuel Jackson. Head over and take a look.<\/p>\n I’m not surprised that out of more than one hat pops up “Just Us Sunday” as a response to “Justice Sunday” because the inference is obvious. I did my first “Just Us” poster the 16h-17th, posting on the 17th<\/a>, and posted a second one<\/a> that day.<\/p>\n But I wanted to put up here that Adult Christianity scored first. Drat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It makes one wonder, however, at the marketing. Or makes me wonder at the marketing. The ease of inference.<\/p>\n Something I’d not noted here, as I did only visual commentary rather than text commentary, but yesterday or the day before I had posted in comments over at Echidne of the snakes<\/a> was that indeed the gavel and bible were pasted or photoshopped into the original poster, and what’s more, it seemed to me that the handle of the gavel was bent\/broken, which was likely just to fit the handle into the picture under the bible. I had already put the rock in the left hand (in my version) when I became aware of this and it’s what gave me the idea of showing the gavel’s handle as nearly completely broken off.<\/p>\n It could be that my perspective is wrong on the gavel in the initial pic but I do believe the handle in the Family Resource Council poster is distorted and thus “broken”. I doubt this was conscious on the part of those who did the poster but for all I know it could have been intentional and expected to register in a subtle manner.<\/p>\n Broken justice.<\/p>\n It had gotten me thinking about Tom Delay’s big hammer and Tom Delay’s role in all this. Which was why I was exceeding pleased at finding a picture of Frist with hammer in hand that I was able to modify and make a focus of the second poster. The anvil of Tom Delay overriding justice’s gavel. “Just Us” Justice.<\/p>\n Bagnewsnotes<\/a> takes a look at hidden meanings in media pics and posters. They did an examination of the poster and no one, I believe, had noted the perhaps broken gavel so as I say it could be just me.<\/p>\n Bagnewsnotes believes that the bible was positioned higher than the gavel and suggested this might mean higher law and that weight of evidence is against the law. But what wasn’t noted, though they did a clip of “public service” along “faith” was that the question mark of “faith” is lower in the scales. This I think *is* intentional and is the marker giving weight to faith. I didn’t notice it until I had finished the picture and then looked and realized that the question mark behind “faith” was lower. It is. I measured. It is very subtly lower<\/a>. Which gives “faith” a certain inconspicuous weight over “public service”.<\/p>\n Intentional? I would think so. Does it matter considering the whole message behind the poster in the first place? It’s not like hidden subtext enticing one to buy is needed when the ad campaign’s meaning and intent is right in one’s face. No. So I wonder why this subtle visual weighting of “faith” which isn’t likely to be consciously observed.
