Lost in Translation: Prohibition
Suppose you do not understand the language or the culture, what would propaganda posters mean to you? Here are a couple of my favorite "translations" at SloshSpot.
I also like the "Never turn your back to alcohol" one. I looked for contemporary anti-drinking ads and they are not as easy to re-appropriate. Modern ads are much more graphically disturbing.
Heh - the one about left/right brain was funny, too.
