:It at least appears like it's somewhat of a joke, being in a circus with laughing supplicants wearing pink. As such, it is a poor example of "homage", even assuming that the circus-members intend to pay homage. —[[User:Centrx|Centrx]]→[[User talk:Centrx|''talk'']] • 17:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC) |

::I will take the advice and replaced Chavez with the Morales homage that seems to better portray the deference and respect the performers accorded to the South American leaders in their performance. --[[User:DavidShankBone|DavidShankBone]] 17:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC) |

The joke image of people paying "homage" to Hugo is inappropriate for a number of reasons
-- Stbalbach 02:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As you can see from my contributions, which are extensive, I don't put up "joke images"
1. Circus Amok is a National Endowment for the Arts funded, award-winning production. Within the show they pay homage to the Socialist South American leaders, including Michelle Bachelet and Evo Morales; not uploaded is Kirschner. How would you know it is a joke unless you were there? I was, and trust me, the message was very pro-socialist, since Jennifer Miller is a Socialist herself, and it is her award-winning piece.
2. The first line in the article is "Homage is generally used in modern English to mean any public show of respect to someone to whom one feels indebted." This production meets all of that criteria.
3. It is not "disrespectful" of anyone, as I make clear above. You can Google "Circus Amok" if you wish to see what its message is about. It certainly does not fall under satire.
You seem to be confusing POV with "everything is neutral." Editors on Wikipedia aren't allowed to insert their points of view, but we are allowed to illustrate other people's points of view. Most of your assumptions based on the photograph are incorrect; if you took some time to research them you would find this to be the case. I put Chavez up as opposed to Morales or Bachelet because he is more familiar to English-speaking audiences. But Bachelet or Morales would work equally as well - take your pick from the links above; but I feel strongly that since I have several images portraying the concept of homage, especially in an NEA-funded piece of theater, that an image should be placed on the page. I would also like to remind you to assume good faith in edits, especially from well-established editors. --DavidShankBone 04:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is a straw vote to see if the circus picture of Hugo Chavez should be in this article. KeeporDelete.
