Why is this "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster E V E R Y W H E R E in 2010?

It's fucking stupid as a trend.

Fuck you.

Jesus.

Christ.

What sparked this?

What did it?

I have no idea.

Did Simon Cowell mention it or some such shit?

It was kinda cute, but nothing really worth everyone getting worked up into a big jizzy frothy jerk-blizzard over it.

And it does irk me as a little disrespectful, even though that's rare for me.

HEY MAN, WORRYING ABOUT THE NAZIS IS JUST LIKE WORRYING THAT YOU'LL MISS YOUR DEADLINE BY A DAY

I MEAN, BEING REPRIMANDED BY YOUR BOSS IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING AS HAVING YOUR HOME FIREBOMBED

Hehe. I mean, I can understand it as a, like, satirization of the fact that it's pretty ineffectual to throw up a sign saying "just remain calm" when shit's getting firebombed, but I don't think most people are doing that.

I also think that in general we're becoming an increasingly pussified society.

Everything is SUCH A BIG DEAL.

All the time.

Like, "OH NO MY BOSS SCOLDED ME."

"THIS IS LITERALLY THE END OF MY LIFE."

Or, like, "I WORE THE SAME DRESS TO THE PARTY AS THIS OTHER GIRL! I'LL NEVER LIVE IT DOWN!"

And it's like, when people say shit like "oh I have too much to concern myself with to bother with politics or any of that" it's like... no, you really DO have enough time, but you've blown all this other stupid shit out of proportion.

It's like, if you didn't spend so much motherfucking time worrying about wearing the same outfit to a party, YOU'D HAVE TIME TO GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ISSUES THAT ARE IMPACTING MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE AND POTENTIALLY DRAMATICALLY CHANGING THEIR LIVES.
