rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.
The following examples are 'thought provoking':

If you are familiar with the Evian brand of bottled water you can
spell it backwards to see what they think:

This one's amazing: (From Shakespeare's Hamlet)
"To be or not to be: that is the question,
whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings
and arrows of outrageous fortune."
becomes:
"In one of the Bard's best-thought-of tragedies,
our insistent hero, Hamlet, queries on two fronts
about how life turns rotten."
And now, for some politicians:
George Herbert Walker Bush.....Huge Berserk Rebel Warthog
George Bush....................He bugs Gore
Ronald Wilson Reagan...........A long-insane Warlord
Margaret Thatcher..............That great charmer
The Conservative Party.........Teacher in vast poverty
And the grand finale:
"That's one small step for a man,
one giant leap for mankind." -- Neil A. Armstrong

"A thin man ran; makes a large stride;
left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars!"
