Oh, and if you want to see some more great Irish posters from this year, do a Google image search for “Coir posters”. Background: Cóir are a right-wing-loony-tunes group formed to oppose the Lisbon Treaty. They produced some clever and really effective posters, and then some spoof Cóir posters started turning up but because Cóir are such loons it wasn’t always obvious which ones were real and which ones were fake. At least [one Dublin newspaper](http://www.davidcochrane.ie/2009/09/whens-a-coir-poster-not-a-coir-poster-dont-ask-the-evening-herald/) was fooled. That Google search will turn up some of both. ---

> [@ruadh](#): > > [Here’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT9xuXQjxMM) where they got the idea. It’s a pretty common thing to see at protests in Ireland now (the photo in #4 was taken in Dublin). Thanks. I was trying to remember where I’d seen that before. It’s been over a year since I last pulled out the _Father Ted_ DVDs. ---

I remember when the “Kill all the Juice” one debuted. There were some really funny parodies. As a Juice myself, I can only hope all antisemites become that stoopid. ---

As a Juice myself, I can only hope all antisemites become that stoopid. Nitpick: “As one of the Juice” is suggested, otherwise you might be out there one day ruining a fine posterboard. ---
