Warped Propaganda

I love the old style propaganda posters. they signal an area gone, sometimes lost. What i love more than old propaganda posters is when people have changed them in some way. Worth1000.com has a contest going at the moment. The idea of the contest is to make new propaganda posters in the old style. Check it out. (click here)

Today i realised i was truly old. For the first time in my life i saw a store front poster and was aghast! I spent the better part of 15 minutes trying to figure out what the heck the guy was holding. i was hoping it was not his happy little friend in a sock but i couldn't see it as anything else...until i got quite close. (click on the pic to see a close up shot if you can't figure it out either)

so now I'm old...sigh...
