Abstract

On January 18, 2011, the Public Broadcasting Service Newshour ran a compelling photo in its coverage of the Tunisian uprising. The photo's background shows a large crowd, presumably of protesters, while in the foreground, we see a young man raising his right arm high in the air, and gazing intently at something outside the frame of the image. But what is most compelling about this young man is the garment he is wearing. It is a plain white t-shirt, on which he appears to have drawn, with a black marker, a clock, its hands indicating exactly 3 o'clock. And above this clock, he has written, in capital letters, the word TIREZ [SHOOT].
