Subvert the Dominant Paradigm

This is creative thinking at work. How do you arrest someone for cleaning a tunnel - even if it looks like graffiti? I imagine the call to Police HQ was pretty amusing and resulted in a lot of head scratching.

It often takes explicit subversion of our preconceptions to reveal our unspoken assumptions about every day life.

Two questions for EBB readers:

Does making someone smile at delicious irony improve retention of the instructional objective?

If so - how can we use non-traditional means to culture jam students into a higher awareness of the world around them?
