What does the following rebus represent?
|
|
|
⌊edifices.⌋ ++ |clone| + |collapsed| ++ ⌈Shrub⌉+ |the|
Hint:
it's probably a three-word affirmation
Second Hint:
If you got the sentence right, there's steel a "picture" in it ;)

1$\begingroup$ The use of floor and ceiling brackets definitely interests me. $\endgroup$– Deusovi ♦Apr 4, 2016 at 21:55

1$\begingroup$ It appears to be a hint that Shrub is the first word. It's capitalized and has the ceiling brackets. The rest are pipes. Then edifices has a period and a floor tag. Almost as if the words are stacked on top of each other and boxed in. But collapsed clone edifices makes me think... @Deusovi $\endgroup$– Z. DaileyApr 4, 2016 at 22:37

The sentence is
Shrub collapsed the clone edifices.
Substituting words for their synonyms, we get the phrase
"Bush collapsed the twin towers"
representing the common meme
"Bush did 9/11".
The picture is:
| | | ⌈ Shrub ⌉ |collapsed| + | the | ++++ | clone | + ⌊edifices.⌋

$\begingroup$ That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure and kinda felt that the puzzle might be in poor taste. Didn't want to post it and be wrong and offensive at the same time. >.> $\endgroup$ Apr 4, 2016 at 22:43

2$\begingroup$ @Z.Dailey: Agreed, it absolutely is in poor taste. But it's an internet meme, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ $\endgroup$– Deusovi ♦Apr 4, 2016 at 22:45

1$\begingroup$ Yah. I wasn't thinking of the meme as much as a political statement. ;) $\endgroup$ Apr 4, 2016 at 22:46

Totally wild shot, is it
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Maybe 'cause
The first three "cloned edifices collapsed" mean "the twin towers...".
But just to get to New York City in a twisted crass way.
And Brooklyn is the most populous of New York City's five boroughs.
The capitalized "Shrub" means "tree" and the ceiling function means it's "growing".
The bars around "the" are squeezing it down to an "a".
The 3 lines on the left-hand side are an extremely poor ascii-art of a tree!
