Just a quick post.
First, a poster that has been put up outside some tube stations. Now, I haven't actually seen this poster anywhere but then I haven't been to many tube stations in London recently. It is definitely reminiscent of a romantic totalitarianism eg. Brazil or V for Vendetta.
There are over four million CCTV cameras in the UK. I'm not sure how much more secure we are considering that most of the CCTV cameras are hidden and so are not a direct disincentive. Also, most of them are not monitored and the footage is only reviewed if someone reports an offence.
If anyone has actually seen these posters then do let me know.
Second, a link to a Google video of a "Tickle Me Elmo" doll on fire. Amusing.
