Reading Leaflets
I was slumming it over at ebay, thinking that I might find some of those leaflets that our boys have been dropping over Iraq, when we aren’t busy dropping bombs already, but I couldn’t find any. I did however find this auction for an Iraq news website. I had no idea that people were putting up their sites for auction on ebay. I wonder how much I would get for afrojet? My guess is the Iraq news website wont get one bid, but these are strange times.

The reason I was looking for the leaflets on ebay was that I mistakenly thought those leaflets wouldn’t be public information. I guess I was wrong. In fact there is a government run website that posts all the leaflets that we drop on any given day. The designs of which look like they were put together by graphic designers still going through puberty. Sitting in the back of the class they scrawl and draw oblong G.I. Joe figures on their three ring binders with wishful out of proportion arnold schwarzenegger muscles and planes bursting into flames in the background.

For a comparison, check out the Vietnam War leaflets and the hateful but interesting graphical work of some WWII leaflets. And then, when you’re really ready to check out something weird, go to Kim Jong Il’s site. Now that should be auctioned off on ebay! While you’re there don’t miss the creepy rollover graphic for a button called “Friendship and Activities”.
