>The correct analytical framework is the centuries-old tradition of defiling a public effigy. This is a recognized form of symbolic, often political, speech directed not at a private individual to cause fear, but at a public symbol to communicate a message to a public audience. The act of burning a politician in effigy is protected not because it is polite, but because its meaning is understood as symbolic condemnation, not a credible threat of arson or murder. Its purpose is to express an idea—be it contempt, opposition, or in this case, a form of grotesque commentary on the nature of celebrity worship.
