Signs of the Times

Posted by Eric at 7:29 am. Filed under: Humor

One of the best opening paragraphs I’ve read in a long time…

Poor Big Brother. George Orwell’s famous symbol of intrusive security has acquired some frighteningly absurd lines in our time. Gone are ‘War Is Peace,’ ‘Freedom Is Slavery,’ and ‘Ignorance Is Strength.’ Instead we have warnings like ‘Do not iron clothes on body,’ ‘Caution, hot beverages are hot,’ ‘Remove occupants from stroller before folding,’ and ‘Do not attempt to stop chainsaw blade with hands.’

  1. It’s only a matter of time before they print “Do not eat” on napkins candy shops wrap around ice cream cones!

    And when that time comes, you know something has gone terribly wrong, somewhere along the way.
