It is too bad that the vast majority of Americans are so mathematics adverse that they can’t see a problem with the Unitary State of America spending about one-half of the world’s total on Weapons of Mass Destruction by their Department of War.
So in the face of the multi-billion dollar PR industry’s pro-war advertising, we could do with quite a bit more peace advertising to reach those only susceptible to emotional ploys and unreachable by reason.
John agrees:
1969 — John Lennon and Yoko Ono celebrate their marriage by hosting a “bed-in” – their “commercial for peace” – at the Amsterdam Hilton.

This is the population, you remember, that until very recently – and still in less-than-nation-shaking numbers – was totally unfazed by the fact that 1% of their fellow citizens was/is accruing to itself and hoarding an overwhelmingly high percentage of the nation’s wealth…while scrambling to seize even more.
Aaarrrggghhhh!
Another caption could just be the guys standing there asking, “Who’s that?” We were fucked once artists started making money off of making pictures of Lennon and claiming it had something to do with them supporting peace. Oh, I had other things to bitch about, like Oko selling hammers at art galleries and mass media acting like that was relevant, but I don’t want to come off as a whiner. 🙂
Tru dat, my friend, tru dat!
You might not need an affair with Leonard Cohen for a week but it might not hurt.
Fuck both those fucking fuckers with a kind sigh.
You best stop holding on and take a look below.
Perpetuate the myths at your leisure, might be time you start creating some.
Oh, >SNAP< !!
(Soon it'll morph into an advertising slogan. …wait for it….)

We’ve been giving peace a chance – a fat chance – for millennia, while waging ever more destructive wars….
