Check out these adverts, which are being printed in papers nationwide. Isn't this just plain frightening? Welcome to the new McCarthyism!

God, how long before I get arrested for taking reference photos for artwork? Also, what about the performance group in New York who perform plays in front of security cameras? Couldn't they be wrongfully swept up in all this?

Christ on a bike. So we're meant to catch terrorists by snooping through each others bins? I hereby personally guarantee to pay whoever came up with these adverts a bazillion pounds should they catch one, just one, terrorist using the masses of useless info they're going to recieve about innocent Muslims through this line from over-zealous, xenophobic busy-bodies. So effing pointless.

On the other hand, is reporting your mate as a terrorist a prank too far?

I like how this terrorist just puts all his bomb chemicals in the top of his overflowing trash can.

Highly realistic.

It's like we have an example of "absurdly obvious terrorist" and "probably not a terrorist at all".

Now they need a sign for America: "This guy can't terrorise the government, because someone reported that he voted third party".

Indeed, I wonder how long it will be before someone shops their neighbour because they decorated their house one weekend and decides the pots of white sprit and Creosote in their bin must be 'dangerous chemicals'.

Remember, nothing to hide nothing to fear!

20 litres of petrol - £22
2 calor gas tanks - £30
an old land rover - £500

watching a failed suicide bomber burn to death - £priceless.


as for the pics: scary - in some ways.
now, how long until they change all this due to soo many reports that get them nowhere?
judging by the standard police response time in london they could have time to make themselves 30 or so nail bombs and wander off before the police got there.


Edit: just a thought after i posted this message:

some people bin paperwork, how many people will now be digging through peoples thrown out bank details or other documents?
would work very well for people who do this to make monney, if cought they blame the advert and they "thought they saw something"

This is absolutely disgusting.

Plastic containers are supposed to go in the recycling, and any dangerous chemicals should be taken to the council dump for specialist disposal.

I know, KK! Mother nature weeps at such an atrocity.

In Madrid, the enlightened mayor Mr Gallardon decided to fine 750€ to all the homeless digging through the trash (very, very logical as the average person going through someone´s else trash has 750€ on him/her) he could tale a hint from this and send them to jail instead I guess.
