(Edit for context: Have you seen ready.gov yet? It’s a site, put up by the US Government, to “help” “assist” citizens in case of “terrorist action”. The creepiest part, by far, are the airline safety-card-esqe pictures in the “Be Informed” section showing you just what to do in case of a threat.)
After glancing at Erik’s take on ready.gov, and more parodying from boingboing, I just couldn’t resist.
So I grabbed a mess of the graphics, wrote my own captions (ironically, a lot of them ended up being strikingly similar to the ones on idle words, even though I hadn’t read them before I wrote my own), and they’re now embedded in the bottom right of this very page. A random one every time you reload.
I’ll probably get tired of them in a few weeks, so get them while they last.
