In desperate times, the world needs more toilet humor
Full and total equality is probably best achieved through toilet humor. It’s equally funny and accessible to all – regardless of race, income, education, gender, or age. Furthermore, the most powerful leaders are equal to each other and to everyone else when they sit on the toilet, focusing on their daily duty. That is also the only place on earth where a guaranteed equality of outcomes is not just a utopian dream, but a quantifiable reality.
This is roughly the concept (at least in part) of the photomontages made by the Italian digital artist from Sardinia, Cristina Guggeri, titled “The daily duty.”
Below are her creations, including Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Silvio Berlusconi, Queen Elizabeth II, Angela Merkel, Dalai Lama, Pope Francis, and Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank. One influential thought leader missing in that collection is, of course, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Pictured, but we compensated that with an adequate thumbnail in the head image.
True fact: a few great men and women have admitted that they’d thought of their best ideas while on a toilet.
