Slog - Comments on Piss Test http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/piss_test From Germany, a new way to remind drunks that they're drunk: So how to capture the attention of any potential drunk drivers? Well, where do most people go when they’re drunk? (Apart from the bar, that is. Or maybe a kebab.) They go to the toilet. As such, we thought the urinal would be the perfect medium to reach our target audience in a fresh, surprising way. h/t Metafilter. Footnote: The Piss Screen game was invented by British advertising firm Saatchi & Saatchi, whose first p.r. coup was this billboard campaign, which helped Margaret Thatcher and the Conservative party...

Cornball That billboard is as relevant today as it was then.

Don't get me wrong -- I wasn't at all down with Thatcherism (as a bona fide Style Council fanatic, how could I have been?) but Labour was dysfunctional then and it seems to be getting so now.

And I'd give my left nut to have Saatchi's art collection.

Take Note Democrats! Post a billboard showing the wreakage of September 11 with a caption: "Remember it was a Republican that let this happen to America"

I can hardly play a racing game while sober with a proper controller.

They were put into government in a free and open election. And I might add that the UK and England are not the same thing.

Second: Duh. I think I fucked that up because whenever I think of Thatcher, I hear "This Is England" in my head. Apologies, corrected.
