Banned Bookshelf Joke

Yes, two tickets to Book please BANNED BOOKS HUCKLEBERRY FINN I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings JUDY BLUME Captain Underpants MAUS THIS BOOK IS GAY A Lesson Before Dying 1984 LORD OF THE FLIES THE COLOR PURPLE

A bookstore shelf displays books under a large “BANNED BOOKS” sign, including famous challenged titles such as Maus, 1984, The Color Purple, and This Book Is Gay. The caption says “Yes, two tickets to Book please,” jokingly treating the banned-books display as if it were a cinema showing called Book. It is used as an ironic reaction to censorship and book bans.
