Mladic Pickles
Mladic Pickles by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My 17th submission to DYOS X. [link]

Ratko Mladić was Chief of Staff of the VRS during the Bosnian War of '92-'95, during which time he organized the massacres of Sarajevo and Srebrenica. He was arrested and extradited to The Hague in May last year to stand trial for charges of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. I don't know what inspired me to make this; as far as I know its air date in January '08 was insignificant. I reposted it to the "Best of DYOS" thread on July 22 after Radovan Karadžić was arrested.

The image itself is a parody of the Vlasic Pickles label, ironic in that the Vlasic family was Croatian.
