Geeklawyer saw this on the underground. Designed as a recruiting poser for Special Cuntstables. It targets the usual Walter Mitty types who try to get into the territorial SAS or do weekend Rambo survival courses in Wales; chaps who want to either boast down the pub about being heroes, or mitigate their personal inadequacies by pushing their newly acquired weight about.
Or as they would prefer to say: “Giving of my free time to help my community”.
Presumably the script for this poster is that our selfless vigilant hero wanders around the streets at night keeping us all safe. While doing so he spots something awry and calls in an armed response team on a couple of evil people dealing drugs or planning a terrorist outrage or ‘Something Bad’. So a major incident gets averted, he gets a pat on the back from the Dear Leader & everyone smiles and calls him a wonderful human being, hero & patriot.
Geeklawyer thought the dialogue between the couple was more likely to be:
“Right here you go, 20 quid, we’re square on the restaurant bill. Can I borrow a lighter?”
“Thank God we live in London were we can talk away from prying eyes. Imagine if it was like East Germany with Stasi informants everywhere.”
Seconds later Special Constable gets a kicking. They should really be a bit more balanced in their representation of what the job entails.
I quite liked the consept from the design point of view, when I first saw it
He couldn’t be like the Stasi as he is bathed in a golden light.
I just found this blog, bit slow I’m afraid. Must say complete quality, made my evening =D thanks!
Soon you will realize it’s all a cynical ruse to supplement Geeklawyers champagne budget with Google Add revenue…
I’m still awaiting my Ruthie Picture prize as well……..
