Amerika



Those are being run by MARC, the metro rail between Baltimore and DC.. and being posted on many left wing blogs..

It's stunning.. and certainly does add more context to my previous post on Deep Throat..

I want one of those prints.. it would look great in my house.. Is it possible that it was created by a designer with a sublime sense of humor?

The more I think about it, the more I think that's probably true. Artistic types tend to be very liberal, and I can just imagine an artist getting the assignment to design a poster with "watch - ride - report" on it. They create the poster and the editor(s) are too stupid to realize it's a direct reference to Nazi and Soviet era propaganda posters. Maybe the editors were in on it as well..

I'm really curious about how the poster was created. It is brilliant social commentary.. The fact that they are actually posted in public transit railways is amazing..
