Akkam’s Razor

Crossposted at MeFi.

(There be images, some quite big here) I suspect a lot of MeFi the interweb shares my obsession with propaganda (and propaganda-style) posters, both domestic and foreign, as well as the photoshops that the Something Awful or Fark crowds generate. CoolGov has a link today to the Office of the National National Counterintelligence Executive and their Anti-Espionage poster collection. Some are great, some are almost pure propaganda, and some show how obsessed with secrecy our government has become. That lead me to Google to look for posters on the *.gov and *.mil domains. Check out the posters for “Venemous Snakes of Afghanistan and Pakistan”, or what the well dressed airmen is wearing (*note the “Essentials”), posters from the NOAA telling you that “lightning kills”, the Code of Ethics for Government Officers and Employees, and this one telling GI’s why smoking could kill them.
