This "Photoshopped vintage propaganda poster" meme is getting really old.

At least this gives us the incredibly useful phrase "loose tweets sink fleets".

So subtle it looks as if someone will have to explain it to me.

I know I've seen that wikipedia one before and I thought it was from a MeFi link. Can't find it, though.

I can't figure out what they changed about Rosie the riveter.

These have nothing to do with WWIII. I was expecting, "Radaway, no longer addictive! Remember to take your Radaway every night!" and "Ghoul discrimination is against the law! Ghouls help the war effort and YOU!"

Weak. If I have to live through WWIII after all I've been through, I would like the propaganda posters to reflect actual modern times, or a return to total barbarianism - not this quaint retro stuff.

It's a double! Oh well.

Dee Xtrovert said it far better than I ever could have.

Well in fairness to Moore, these were made (and covered on Mefi) almost two years ago. You can tell because the second-to-last poster equates Net Neutrality with noble Rockwellian democracy rather than the socialist fascist conspiracy my teevee is identifying it as now.

how about sportball? they get many points.

Bit of a one trick pony, which is disappointing because there is a lot that could be done with second guessing future propaganda.
