I like the one comparing treatment of us to treatment of the elderly.

I found the posters comparing the treatment of us to racism and sexism chilling.

The students who run the lounge at my school
are accepting of anything, but once the posters are
printed out, this will be a little tricky to get past them.

Obviously, if you fear that some of the ads will have a bad effect, you can post the other ads.
