A little silly, sure. But no sillier than the original. I mean, I can stick any word I want on someone's picture, whether it's "HOPE" or "CHANGE" or "TAPIOCA". Doesn't make it true. If I feel anxiety or apprehension looking at the man's face, telling me that you feel hope doesn't change anything, and if I already feel hope when I see the man's face, well, showing me a picture isn't going to change that either.
