U.S. Airborne Ranger-turned-dissident comic book artist, Micah Wright here offers a stunning, hilarious and politically incendiary full-colour poster book that reworks classic American World War I and II propaganda into commentaries on war, peace and patriotism for the post-September 11 era. Here forty posters of yesteryear such as Uncle Sam's I Want You,' and 'Loose Lips Sink Ships' are reworked with messages of peace and protest against the Bush White House, the War on Terror, the 2000 Presidential Election, and much more. With 40 pages of vibrant full-colour art.' Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I was impressed, initially. A few of the updated posters were somewhat amusing, thought none of them were funny. Most of them, however, were just stupid and over the top. I will never understand the need for Anti-Bush people to exaggerate what a douche he was. There's plenty of fact based arguments to make without comparing him to Hitler or making 'jokes' about his sexual prowess. All this shit does is make the left look crazy and close the mind of those who might have considered what he had to say.
Except, of course, it turns out that he doesn't have much to say except that war = bad and peace = good.
The articles were not only repetitive but many of them were downright insulting and condescending to the reader. I felt like I was being lectured and talked down to, when quite frankly, if this book is any indication, I'm much more well informed than Mr. Wright is.
The idea behind this book was good which makes me even more disappointed in how poorly it was executed. ( )
