Go, Look: Altered Cartoon’s Employment In Political Campaign Drives Significant Pushback

The Guardian has a short piece up here about a politician named Jacqui Lambie using an altered version of a cartoon by David Pope to a political end, and the resulting flurry of criticism and defenses against criticism. It seems to be one of those things where it's probably not illegal to do the thing in questions, it's debatable whether it's affront, and it's wholly and obvious a rotten idea because all it's going to lead to is someone repeating the original criticism and savaging you for the appropriation involved. -- a recurring, similar story in the US is the use of pop songs within political campaigns.
