Loose lips sink ships & other disasters

While I’m not a fan of propaganda per say, I love me some propaganda posters. They’re either unintentionally hilarious, placing the burden of either winning or losing the war on your tiny little shoulders, or they’re delightfully helpful. Remember to eat your vegetables! Reading is fun! Brush your teeth!

I am now the proud owner of a fake British propaganda poster, which isn’t so much informative or cautionary as it espouses one of my many long held beliefs.

In other news, someone has created a very clever BP related propaganda poster based on one of the classics. Granted, the execution leaves a lot to be desired, but the idea is pretty wonderful.

So, while it’s not nearly as awesome or compelling at as the original below and the quotation marks are only borderline acceptable, it still deserves some props.


When life gives you wheelchair, make lemonade!

This is by far the greatest thing I saw on the interwebs today, a worthy successor to my gal Oprah. I just hope she doesn’t pull a Leno and take back his show once he gets one, which is completely inevitable.

Also, this needs to exist, like now.

Like Oil & Water

Thanks for ruining our environment BP! Although I appreciated the music selection in your ads about how green and environmentally friendly you are, and of course your logo, I always viewed you with some skepticism. And now it’s come to this. You ruined our fancy environment. I know, I know: it was an accident. The damage is done old chaps. And for the record, this is not at all like that time we dumped all your tea into the ocean. Since you’re busy not fixing what you broke, the interwebs have helpfully stepped up to free up some of your time by creating new advertising for you, employing withering sarcasm, my very favorite form of communication.
