Literary Theory, Baseball, and Politics
From Uniwatchblog:
Meanwhile, just to bring things full circle, I caught a quick glimpse of a Mitt Romney campaign rally on TV yesterday and noticed that many of the people in the crowd were holding up signs shaped like baseball gloves — mitts, get it? Only problem is, a regular fielder’s glove is not a mitt, because “mitt” is short for “mitten” and only applies to the fingerless gloves worn by catchers and first basemen.
This isn’t an endorsement or slander, but proof that everything you company does, no matter how small it may seem, WILL be noticed by someone. Most likely, that person can put it on the web.
This is proof that your message, no matter how simple (mitt=baseball glove), is determined by those listening - not by those speaking, right?
