Can AdSense coexist with this site...?

What about a site presenting only wild but very wild (popular) jokes, photoshopped pics and designs about some government (another country and continent) and in particular about the president of this country who is reputed to be highly corrupt?
Mostly popular jokes and manifestations of frustration in that country without speficic or affiliated political opinion.

I can get the audience for this site rather easily.

Am I crazy if I bet my AdSense account to this? Or nothing will happen?

    Pictures can get you in trouble really fast if you do not own the rights to them

      Pictures... pictures... as time goes by I understand copyright less and less. I can see pictures reproduced everywhere, even famous pics edited and used for whatever reason. I had a site that needed pictures taken by newspapers. Took the time to read about the rights involved. Then took the time to ask permision to the owner... and never got one single answer.

      That's funny. I use pics all the time that I don't own the rights to.
      And most other sites, same thing.

      Permission to use an image, or using it the right way, normally
      does not mean you own the rights.

      Are you an affiliate for amazon?
      Then if you read the rules, you will realize you
      are free to use the images as granted, but you do not own
      the rights to them.

    I'm speculating that even if it is allowed by adsense, the clickthrough rate would be absolutely dreadful.

    I'm reading a joke, I don't want to do something else (go to another website)... I just want to read another joke.

    Get what I'm saying? That's just speculation though, it could work. I've never made a site like this before so not speaking from experience.

    With pictures you first assume you do not have the right to use it unless in writing you can prove otherwise. Most newspapers and such get them from sources like Getty which costs money to attain those rights, the newspaper does not have the right to pass it on to you. I purchase stock art dvds and such to use this way I get tons of different pictures and have the right to use them. I also take pictures myself, which helps.

      I will be dealing with pics already retouched, edited or being part of a collage. No idea what happens then.
      Besides, the thread is about what happens AdSense wise.

      Thanks for your answer, pal.
