Sight Gag is our weekly nod to the ironic, satiric, parodic, and carnivalesque performances that are an important part of a vibrant democratic public culture. These “gags” may not always be funny or represent a familiar point of view, but they attempt to cut through the lies, hypocrisy, shamelessness, stupidity, complacency, and other vices of democratic life. Of course, we invite you to comment … and to send us images that you think might deserve a laugh or at least a wry and rueful look by those who are thinking about the character of public life today.
This particular picture has an affect on me because this picture is showing me how the western drought is severely affecting where I live. We need to be aware of how we live our everyday lives because we can really need to be cautious of conserving not only water, but also energy and other things we use daily. We are partially responsible for why global warming is happening in my opinion. This is a huge issue and I am hoping that we can be smart and conserve as much water to help this drought we have in California.
