I am fed up to death of seeing fucking 'keep calm and carry on' posters. Its doing my tits in!
Like any other Facebook fad, the comedy value of them has long since worn off.
I can see the initial appeal, its a good slogan - one of many that the war years brought us. The thing about the internet in general though - is that people like to 'make things their own,' which is to say 'make things shit!'
How many times have you not been able to find something on youtube - for all of the versions and repetitions and copying that goes on? It is ludicrous!
So back to the point. Put 'keep calm and' into google images - and you can see just how much of this rubbish is going:
Keep calm & watch TV (hilarious)
Keep corma & curry on (pun-tacular)
Find vampire & get bitten (????)
Keep calm & buy stuff (sadly kind of true)
Keep calm & grow a mustache (sound advice...)
Keep calm & put the kettle on (yeah)
Excuse me if I stop, my sides are on the verge of splitting and I fear it may stain the carpet.
Do these people actually think they are funny? Do they not understand humour or irony? why do they do it!? People should be saved from themselves, they really should.
The only remotely decent parody my searches yielded was 'Bloody Hell We're Buggered now' in the correct typography.
I am just fed up of people putting these things up on facebook - especially when they haven't produced them themselves! There is nothing worse than when people try to express themselves, using something someone else produced - which wasn't even funny to begin with!
Anyway - I just hope this fad goes away.
Bloody trends!
Here's my rendition for you all to enjoy anyway.
Rant over.
