Source: http://po-ru.com/images/ruby-propaganda-small.pngThis poster was created to compare two different computer programming languages, Python and Ruby. Python is better-known in the West, whereas Ruby is best known in its native Japan, although Ruby is becoming more popular. This particular poster is targeting anyone who does computer programming and it sends the message that Ruby is the best language to use by how the snake/python is being crushed by the hands. It does not necessarily work at gaining maximum acceptance in that it does not have a lot of evidence as to why Ruby is the better language. It just depicts Ruby as being the stronger and more superior one. Although I do believe that it still appeals to people in a certain way, because most people do not like snakes and so they might be turned off to the Python language becuase they don't like snakes. So, even though, there is not a whole lot of evidence as to why Ruby is the better of the two, most people are going to experience a feeling of disgust towards the Python language because of the way snakes are seen in our society; as slithering, evil creatures.
