Food for Thought

Surf's Up!
I may use that old cliche' in my poster project.  Mary Stewart talked about cliche', metaphor, and other tools for propaganda in Chapter 8 of Launching the Imagination.  There were lots of good examples of political, social, and commercial expression.  I particularly liked the poster on page 167 by the Iomega Corporation, "Y2K's coming. Don't Just Sit There."  Do you remember the days leading up to Y2K?  I do.  We bought lots of dried beans.  Disaster readiness at its best!
