On Rogier van Bekel's blog I found this post about a poster commissioned and paid for by the London Metropolitan Police ... also a related post about a similar poster done by the design-impaired, but equally moronic Chicago Police Force.

This stuff upsets me so much ... but we don't need my take on this today. Rogier sums it up better than I ever could:

If terrorists do their dirty work by spreading, well, terror, what should we call public servants who promote fear and unhinged suspicions by telling the public to report note takers, binoculars users, camera enthusiasts, map owners, and motorists who time traffic lights?

Anyway ... this all inspired me to some midnight "photoshop rage." I was able to translate the London poster so that its true intentions are clearer ... be sure to read the texts of both versions. See if you can tell which is the original! Which is more paranoid?
