Just as trying to hard to be ironic as the rest.

This seems about as clever as an Urban Outfitters ironic t-shirt.

oh, no - let's just hope we don't start seeing this in countless blogs from now on... 'insert *argh!* here'

Putting this and "For Like Ever" in the same category as the "Keep Calm" poster misses the point a bit.

And the graphic designer in me hates the kerning on this poster sooooo much. Which I also know is not the point.

I second patrick (the other one).

In addition, if you were wishing for something new to hang on your walls and wanted to share, that's great. No need to state "you're bored" with the other pieces. That comes off as an insult.

It does sound insulting. Buy art because you like it and want to keep it, not because it's trendy. I hope people who bought the Keep Calm and For Like Ever posters bought them because they liked them, not because they're in every magazine ever. That's why I got the Keep Calm poster.

That said, I do think this is funny, but not funny enough to keep around my house for a long time.

I know its an old war slogan, but the "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster always makes me think of Tim Gunn, sounds like something he would say. Maybe I'll do a "Make It Work" poster in his honor.
