London Tube Poster (I used to see these all the time)

This is an actual British Government poster outside a London Tube Station. Looks like they ripped it straight from the set of 'Brazil.'"

It's a gorgeous work of art. The colors in the bus windows are appealing. However....

 

 

Update:

 

Photos of eyes keep people honest. A short article by Clive Thompson in the New York Times Magazine describes an experiment at the psychology department at Newcastle University. There's a self-service coffee station where people are asked to pay for the coffee and biscuits they take using the honor system.

 

For 10 weeks this spring, they alternately taped two posters over the coffee station. During one week, it was a picture of flowers; during the other, it was a pair of staring eyes. Then they sat back to watch what would happen.

A remarkable pattern emerged. During the weeks when the eyes poster stared down at the coffee station, coffee and tea drinkers contributed 2.76 times as much money as in the weeks when flowers graced the wall.

 

Evidence of psychology being used to subconciously "manufacture consent".

those eyes actually spook me out... :uhoh2: nice poster though..

If I had a glass eye, I would get the Underground logo on it. :D

Why do watchful eyes suddenly make me feel very UNsecure?

 

And for that matter, wasn't big brother (from the book not the show) supposed to be a DISTURBING thing?

If it makes people behave then whats the problem?

Hahaha - that's the perfect answer. You go straight to the top of the class.

 

My god.

Some is always watching!

:thinking: I take it you've never read/watched much scifi? The real stuff I mean, not space operas.
