Jessica Alba in bondage!

Is it porn? An anti-abuse PSA? An ad for a kinky sex club? Nah...it's just part of Declare Yourself's "controversial" print campaign to encourage voter registration. I take it to task on SocIm.

Hmmm. I disagree with your interpretation -- I think the ads are using strong images to show that only *you* can control whether you are silenced or whether your voice is heard. I would find the Jessica Alba image potentially problematic if I hadn't seen the whole series -- but I think it's saying that taking away your own right to vote (by inaction and silence), you are doing violence to yourself as an individual.

I'm okay with these, even though they certainly provoke a strong visceral initial reaction.
