Hi Steve_G,
I'm not quite sure what to make of this thread. I'm not sure what is being implied.
The posters at Boing Boing are parodies of posters being put on the street by the police for people to report anything suspicious.
The police posters, it could be argued, artistically speaking, are leaving a lot to be desired but the message is clear. Be vigilante.
I think this is no different than the good old 'Neighbourhood Watch' program from when I was a kid, where stickers were placed in house windows of an eye and the message to potential criminals "You are entering a neighbourhood watch area".
Now I think the police are trying to reach a broader public, especially in the Greater London area where neighbourhoods are becoming more anonymous, to be vigilant.
Of course I may have missed the boat on this one as I really didn't understand the message behind the thread in the first place.
Best regards,
Steve
