[Leica] PESO: No American

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

"As of 2011, about 5.5 billion out of the approximate 6.92 billion people on
Earth do not speak English as either a first language or a second language.
"So to those people this image is meaningless.
Which is why my high school photography teacher did not accept those kinds
of pictures; refereeing to them as "bumper stickers". Nor did my college
photography teachers.
A picture is worth thousand words but if its a "picture" of  three words
its worth three words. And only to those people who read that language.

I'd call this picture an extremely poorly executed text orientated sight gag
which basically thumbs its nose at anybody who gives a rats ass about
photography.
