Really? Do you remember what you said its argument was? (I'm having trouble figuring out what you could claim about it beyond that it's calming or theraputic due to the colors and design, but that could be failure of imagination on my part. We're supposed to steer them away from writing about the image's context or historical/cultural significance; that's for the second paper.)
That last picture you linked is pretty nifty--plays with your expectations of Superman as a force for good. (He is giving a smoker a light, isn't he? I'm not entirely sure.)
I'm giving them the option of doing it on an image of their choosing as long as they let me vet it first. (I'm less worried about them bringing in, I dunno, porn or whatever than I am about them having an actual idea of how they're going to analyze it rather than just thinking it's a cool image and not getting any further than that, then writing a terrible paper.) I'm compiling this pool because I don't want to have to approve 44 different images.
