Post Secret

I am commenting on the post secret about the person locking themselves out of their room to see the security officer. The text of the message reads "I locked myself out on purpose (because the security officer is cute)". The explicit claim is that the person likes the security guard and wants to be around the security guard more often. The implicit claim is that people want to be around people they think are attractive and sometimes you have to do crazy things to accomplish this. This is most likely a college student or an apartment tenant. The audience is anyone that reads the card. It is targeted specifically towards anyone who has done something outrageous to see a person they liked. The visual component show the reader that this is real and not just made up. It is printed on the student’s copy of the lockout receipt.
