Battlestar Galactica Propaganda Posters


Do Your Part For Humanity

The Cylons were created by man. They rebelled. They evolved. They look and feel human. Some are programmed to think they are human. There are many copies. And they have a plan.

Imagine that you spend, all day, every frackin' day, in a metal tube hurtling pell-mell through outer space. You're doing everything you can do to just carve out a meager existence. An intractable enemy continuously nipping at your heels - one that looks and acts exactly like you do... It's a miracle you haven't gone crazy.

President Laura Roslin and her administration realized that morale was low. She had to figure out a way to keep the ever dwindling human population not only motivated but enthusiastic about continuing the battle against the Cylons. Taking a cue from history, she employed a little bit of psychological warfare. These posters might be called "propaganda" and "felgercarb" by some with a distinct lack of vision, but she would call them "inspirational." And what the hell is "felgercarb" anyway?!

A rolled set of 5 posters, 22" by 17" printed on heavy 100 pound satin-finish paper, each depicting a motivational phrase and inspirational graphic designed specifically to keep humans alive, wipe out toasters, and keeping our Vipers aloft.

So say we all.
