Preferred and oppositional reading.

Preferred reading

The preferred reading of this poster is comic, showing the 'M'nM' as a war leader with his followers beneath him with 'vote Red' at the bottom, and the MnM logo at the bottom all suggest that this is a comic poster.

Oppositional Reading

The oppositional reading to this poster is someone making a joke out of the sacrifice that people made for the freedom of others, this poster, if not shown in the correct context, could easily upset someone for example a war veteran. It may also suggest war as the block colour is red, suggesting blood or violence, the way the MnM has its hand forward it resembles Nazi party posters.
