The National Security letter is a bit of a shocker. If the FBI can target you and garner your emails on suspicion you might be a security risk, your privacy is screwed… and after reading about what GWB era suspicion was, that would mean calling the President nasty names? 99% of the USA is at risk.

If you look more closely, you can’t buy more then 5 individual prints at one time for $50 ea. Each order is a random set of 5, so you won’t be able to get all the pieces for 800. Not a good deal if you are looking to get all 16 different prints, eventually.

I think Putin’s inspiration was Victor the singing fisherman in “Local Hero” (my all time favorite movie). What really freaked me out about that vid is the irradiated children on the posters–was this a benefit for the victims of Chernobyl or something?

FitN, the 11×14 prints come in two flavors. You can buy just one for $50. But if you want the full set of 16, that’ll set you back $1,000. Yes, there are 50 full sets for sale. But that’s not the $50 I was talking about.

Felix,

Funny joke on the 20×200, except what they mean is that; This is a limited series of 50 prints, each selling for $1,000. Of course it seems that people in the liberal arts don’t know the use of punctuation…
