Zzzzzzzzzz
Going three times!
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
No, the other one.
Is there a better version?

I used a screenshot
from the page the trope page linked to. The original walmart page seems to have disappeared.
If you want something with more visual interest, here's a resized crop that includes the picture of the product:
That's better. Very nice.

No, the other one.
I think it's very busy, and still rather blurry.

I prefer the picture in the first post.
That said, I find it pretty weak. What's the joke here, that you're buying a book that opposes capitalism? Because most non-capitalist systems also have a sense of property ownership. So how exactly is that "sticking it" to anything?
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!Aye, the source is rather low quality. I did a search for "destroy capitalism" on Google Shopping. That yields his results. I took a screenshot. I'd upload it, but I'm on my phone. I'll upload later unless someone beats me to it.

No, Banksy is a graffiti artist. One of his pieces was anti-capitalism. He licensed that piece to be sold as an art print, with prices ranging from $50 to upwards of $800 depending on the size.

So that's not so much "the man sticking it", but rather Banksy being a hypocrite or a sellout, no?
Plus I suspect that most readers haven't heard of this Banksy guy. There's plenty of freelance artists selling T-shirts over the internet, after all.

It's a business/sales website using an anti-market slogan as a selling point. So yeah it works.

Hi
Bump; any other thoughts?

Assuming that the original page is lost, the crop in 8 with the advertisement visible looks to me to be the better one.
It occurs to me that the original print is also an example: [1]
◊ Possibly cropped to the right?

Not right away, not right away
No, the other one.
The text is very small, so even a tight crop would make it hard to make out. Can perhaps be mentioned in the caption. I think it illustrates the trope better if it works.

Ok that one is awesome.
No, the other one.
That was more readable than I expected.
@20 is good but I am not convinced it's better than the OP suggestion.

Op is just not readable at wiki size.
The important parts are readable. That's why I am still supporting it.
