16. Effective way
to get a message to start to "soak" in. Through humour - initially people laugh uncomfortably... but the message is there... then later it starts to reverberate in the minds of a few as the admin continues to pursue their ridiculous policies... I would bet that while the attendees are not as much the intended audience - as the general public (due to the publicity - and for whom the humour is even more of an effective tool), that more than one or two attendees - over time will have been affected... Satire - even when poking at one's own - can have a longer lasting impact on the internal "hmmmmm" effect than oppositional signs (though those are great as well...)
