Soviet Health&Safety

Found via David Thompson's blog

Health and safety posters, Soviet style

In Soviet Russia, train catches YOU

Stop, hammertime

Them Russians are/were very good at propaganda posters, I have to say.

A failure of advertising

Seen in today's "Eureka" science supplement, in The Times.

A BMW advert, proudly proclaiming "drinks like a camel"; intended to describe good/low fuel consumption

...and directly over the page from this double-page spread; an article which explains that camels actually drink quite a lot...

Whoops.

This post was going to be entitled "truth in advertising", but the claimed 50mpg is actually quite good.

Now, before any beemer-haters start coming out of the woodwork, here is das FNS-wagen relaxing outside in the snow. It's actually very good on fuel ;)
