I'm doing a study on how art is used to protest.

I need to find examples of cases where art activists have taken something normal and turned it into something scary, taking advantage of the "fear factor" to make people understand what they're fighting for.

A good example is when people take Ronald MacDonald and turn him into something from a horror movie (not that Ronald isn't already that).

I really only need pictures; big news stories and all that are not needed. There just has to be enough information for me to reference it in a bibliography.

Thanks, everyone!

I don't know if this is what you mean, but maybe take a look at some of the political cartoons Dr. Suess did?- some of then are kinda made into monsters, or well his style, you know. Maybe this isn't what you mean.

There's a commercial that fights against coke bottles and stuff from around the super bowl time. It's a public awareness message that could be used.

Street art is really good at this.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
