Okay, so we know that a lot of you out there have opinions about the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters that frequently show up in AT house tours. (See the 74 comments in this Good Question post just last week.) But what do you think of The Poster List's take on them?
The posters are printed with 100% vegetable ink on organic acid-free paper. They are available in four colors: yellow, grey, aqua and pink.
If the "Keep Calm" line isn't your thing, The Poster List carries dozens of other designs as well. And, for a limited time, you can pick up any two posters for $20.

Oh, I kind of love this. I've had my 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster for about a year now. It's spent that time rolled up in its packing tube because I've moved twice in the last year and haven't gotten around to doing anything with it. Much though I like it, they ARE everywhere and I'm hesitant to have what is fast becoming a ubiquitous sentiment/poster on my wall. I could go Rock On instead, in fact, that might suit me a bit better. Wish it came in red.
I visualize this in Gwen Stefani's home.
Better than "...Carry on", I guess.
Doesn't our generation have any imagination beyond regurgitating old things without context in pretty colors?
While we're at it. Let's make a black and white poster that says "Got Carry On Poster?". We can hit two ubiquitous designs at once.
I guess I'm outta the "poster loop," so this one's fresh to me. Though I do have to admit the design isn't very "rocker." I'd have gone with some tattoo typeface, myself.
I always try to put myself in a serene state of mind before I rock.
At least this one is a commentary on something, not simply a rehash of an old idea; I like it! I'm not sure how much sense it really makes, and I actually appreciate its silliness.
wow. that's commentary?
so sick of these posters...spotted them in domino magazine as well. i don't find them to be original.
SNORE!
Lame
No amount of vegetable ink on organic acid-free paper could make me put this on my wall.
would have loved a "shriek and run amok" poster better, as suggested in that earlier thread. lame.
I like it!
I think that's a pretty sweet deal and they ship to Canada!
I like the "Keep Calm" posters, but there should be one that says, "Keep Calm and Poop On."

No. It's all simulacra, spectacle, and simulation.
I love it! I'm glad other people don't, more for me! :D
I would buy 10 Poop On posters! Thats a great idea
Misses the whole point.
At least the original poster was a based on an authentic idea anthat had some relevance as commentary on the current war. (even if it was usurped by American hipsters who had no understanding and or respect of its origins).
This is just a cheap attempt at satire -- and quite insulting to the original, not to mention those who suffered through years of bombings.
I like it. I've been trying to get ideas on how to decorate my sons room in a rocker styled theme - this seems to work great for that. I'm a bit of a history dork, I actually did my senior thesis on war time propaganda over in London so I love the "Keep Calm" posters, as well as other war time posters/art. I don't think it is being disrespectful, just playing on history, thats done often.
The site also has some other really great posters that brought a smile to my face.
My husband would love a "poop on" poster though for the little guys room - he'd think that was hilarious.
im sick of posters with words.
My dad got cancer earlier this year, and we were preparing for him to go through chemo, surgery etc. Every time I called him, I was surprised and pleased by how upbeat and calm he sounded - he was doing lots of simple walking, meditation, trying to keep calm in his everyday life.
A couple of days ago he called to tell me that the cancer has disappeared! No treatment or anything like that, just up and gone. The specialist was completely baffled, but I'm certain it had to do with my dad's outlook.
While we were chatting, I mentioned that I had bought a Keep Calm poster, and he said how much he'd like it. He grew up in the post-war period, and he's hardly a hipster. His birthday is this Friday, and I think it'll be a perfect present for him. So there, AT! I love my dad and I love that poster, I don't care how many hipsters think it's a fad.
WACK!
A silly trend that's was over before it started
Um. When I rock out, I am not calm. I don't think these people have rocked - on or out - in their whole lives.
binging and regurgitating the same trends under different facades...i love pop culture.
Maybe if you're about 12 it's cute.
