Another collection of war posters and propaganda. What is nifty about these is you can start to see a variety of graphic styles ermerging, some minimalism and more melodrama in the content. I also noticed much more in regards to security and safety. Like this one that implys that there are spys every where and you should watch what you say. I don’t know if these were out for the general population or just those that worked for the war machine.

here it is the one with just the name followed by the one with the knight. dunno if I like it.
UPDATE: Since this is getting hit a lot in the google search for the new logo, many might want the full color ones. Well, check out a later post, here, for small versions. Follow the links in the article for the bigger ones courtesy Gavin Hall.

funniest video I have seen in a while. how destroying vegetables makes for gory but gorgeous sound effects for video games
Yep, you read that right. Maybe not a warm glass but a little pooh milkshake kind of thing. It is called fecal bacteriotherapy. Apparently when the billions of symbiotic bacteria in your gullet get all out of whack or destroyed a glass of poopy recharges it.
This is serious, I ain’t playing. The article, via Boing Boing by way of the Washington Post, outlines the fecal transplant.
Here are my favorite excerpts
Me: It is, in effect, a human poop transplant?
Nice, makes you a transplant survivor right, but this one has a brown ribbon to wear during doo-doo Transplant Awareness Week (always schedule post though, they pick the shittiest week of the year)
Me: And how is this transplant done?
Dr. Aas: Through a tube down into the patient’s stomach. A naso-gastric tube.
Me: It goes in through the nose?
Dr. Aas: Or the mouth, yes.
Yummy!!
Dr. Aas: Oh yes. You wouldn’t believe the [flora] I have taken from colleagues since publishing that paper.
I guess saying he did a shitty job would be a proper complement in this case.
I have a few questions:
- Does it come in flavors? I personally like vanilla.
- What color is it? If it isn’t a natural brown do they use artificial colors?
- Is this organ donation covered under the sticker on your driver’s license or can it be a live donor situation?
- Do the people that make poop shakes tell other people that they make poop shakes.
- If it is a living organism (read the article) does that mean you are committing a type of murder every-time you flush and should we let the creatures free instead?
Having this procedure would also assure you of plenty of bar bet fodder. I know that you will think of this next time you poop.

check and see if your name is on the list of “official” bad guys.
World War I was a famously unpopular war so the PR machine of the goverment was swung into motion to stirke up the fervor in every citizen. I found this in a disc from an uncle that tends to be a big archiver. They are small scans but none the less striking images and calls of duty and service. I have more from WW II and Korea. Vietnam disapears. It broke our taste for these I guess. It is also painfully obvious the lack of drive like this for the current conflict. I wonder who was committed less, was it our stomach for this propaganda or hubris that felt that we didn’t need it, avoid the sacrifice.
I do believe this are public domain but this was just an avenue to share a collection. Pass a long if you like.
