I mean it's like... the poster looks like the cover of 1984. Where do you go from that?

I once saw a similar poster by the police.

It consisted of a pair of sinister eyes, and basically said "We're watching you".

Every move you make, every breath you take?

Or the other police?


But for serious--if you were to put that poster in a newspaper under the 'political cartoons' section, no one would think it was anything other than satire comparing the government to an oppressive big brother state.

That it's not is terrible... but it's hard to say anything about it that the poster doesn't already say.

This is a subtle hint to get back on the original topic

Ironic really then, that that's what happened with regards to the OPs link in Britain too. Seriously there's probably like 10 people in the whole country that have seen this. It's not a big deal.

Most people don't notice the totalitarian eye of Orwellian government rearing up around them, therefore it's not important.

I'm thinking about ringing the number and reporting the government as a terrorist.

Do it.

Tell them they're watching you all the time, and always seem to be on the verge of doing... something, you don't know what, and it terrifies you. Tell them you think they might have some kind of bombs or something.

ITT: A faceless internet community convinces a bearded foreign scientist to attract the attention of an Orwellian police state's anti-terrorism wing.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Krylo 03-12-2010 10:11 AM

...It's smarty.

So... nothing?

Professor Smarmiarty 03-12-2010 10:34 AM

Yeah the problem is if they raid me house, there is enough copies of radical jourals and revolutionary texts to get me put away for a long long time. Or at least blacklisted.

Osterbaum 03-12-2010 10:44 AM

Face it, you're propably already blacklisted.
