minus-square@NarrativeBearOPlinkEnglish-20•edit-22 days agoThe poster seem to normalise people being hit or run over by cars. (Note the tire marks) A pedestrian hit by a car, and no blame in the poster is associated to a car, the car is not visible in the scene. It seems to associate the intelligence of a person with that of a animal that made the same mistake, ie. wanting to cross the road safely.

What does this have to do with cars?
