About

The Illusions of Free Choice is an exploitable webcomic series featuring a cow given two respective choices that lead to the same end. The image, based on an Abstruse Goose political cartoon, is photoshopped for comedic effect or to express the meme author's specific beliefs.

Origin

On September 10th, 2009,[1] the webcomic the Abstruse Goose[2] published a cartoon entitled "The Illusion of Free Choice." The comic featured a cow before two entrances leading to a slaughter house. However, both the "left" and "right" entrances lead to the same destination.
