Propaganda posters from the 20th Century

Going Steady With HitlerThe Free Information Society has a fun gallery of proganda posters, mostly from World Wars I and II. There are some obvious gutbusters like the "Goin' Steady With Hitler" poster from the Coalition for Abstinence Education, but there's also some gorgeous art there. Some of the sentiments are shockingly sardonic; it's a reminder that we are not necessarily any more cynical now than our grandparents were then.

Check it out.

I'm sure Micah Wright's having a field day with these...

Hmm... on second thought, I think a few of them later in the gallery ARE Micah Wright's.
