Which is True? Image Brain Food.

Which is True? Image Brain Food. April 7, 2012

Have you ever noticed that WE are the new media? We bloggers, we facebook-users, we Twitter-tweeters? We Pinterest-pinners?  We tumbling-tumblrs? 

Any one can slap some words on an image, post it to facebook, pin it on pinterest and all of a sudden it’s “truth.”  In fact, Tumblr was made by this: the ability to easily reblog image after image after image.

The following images are ones I’ve seen ’round the interwebs in the past few days that have struck a chord, made me think “what’s true or not true about these images? What’s the kernel of truth hidden in this image?  What message is being delivered to me?

Is it propaganda?  Is it a fat lie?

With all the immediate messages being delivered to our brain in 30 second sound-bites don’t ever accept anything as truth without thinking long and hard about it.

All that said, let’s practice! =)

I’m interested in what you think about the following four….

Thoughts?  Which are true?  Which contain a morsel of truth?  

(p.s. all images were grabbed from random facebook offerings this past week).
