Propaganda Posters for the One-And-Twenty

[athelind]

Know Your Place! Shut Your Face!

1940s war-propaganda posters recaptioned for the modern era. The site has a mix of sarcastic parody-digs at the "Ministry of Homeland Security" ("Patriotism means NO QUESTIONS!") and determined opposition. I particularly like their version of the Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the Constitution
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic that it established:
one Nation out of many Peoples,
with Liberty and Justice for all.

Frankly, I'd push to have that replace the pledge to the Flag.

Someone Went to Oceana, And All I Got Was This Lousy Big Brother Poster

What struck me, while I was chatting with Yasha this weekend, was how humorless it all seems to be in the halls of power these days. I bet this site has some of the FBI in a rage.

Voicing your opinion not withstanding, I get the feeling that there just isn't any joking in John Ashcroft's office (as if you try to, you end up in the iron maiden). Damn, that guy would have made a good medieval pope. Good in the sense of being a brutal and zealous religious dictator, I mean.

And I get the feeling that when someone in the Bush regime says 'Homeland Security' they can do it without a trace of irony and not a single frission of rememberence of reading '1984' in high school.

But then, that would be making the assumption that some of these drones can read. You know, reading being one of those pinko liberal intellectual pursuits, and all.

OK, I'm done being sarcastic. Back to working on proving that we're at war with Eurasia, we've ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia, we'll ALWAYS be at war with Iraq. I mean, Eurasia.
