Think about what you're saying here...

Two posters recently spotted that should never have been produced. First, the HP PhotoSmart "Photos of the Christmas party at the Christmas party!" ad.

What a remarkably horrid idea that is. Imagine it. The family's gathered round, digesting their turkey. Uncle Mike is the bore with the camera. Now, normally he'd just wander around making everybody grin inanely a few times; today, he then gets to run off and fiddle with the printer every half hour. The hilarity! And he passes around the pictures, which frankly, aren't very interesting and of course half of them are blotchy or squinting or pulling an unflattering face — so he has to take more pictures. And print.

And the afternoon, instead of being given over to that warm festive ritual of looking mildly bored and stuffing yourself with mince pies, becomes a farce of trying to look like you're having such fun, and trying not to be confronted with yet another picture of yourself with mince pie halfway to your face and chocolate smears down your front. And then afterwards, you entirely miss out on that happy ritual of "ooh, the pictures have arrived!", prompting the jolly postmortem that is so often more fun than the party was in the first place.

But that's just a little bit stupid. Here's the really stupid thing. The City of Westminster's admirable Safe Streets campaign has plastered tube stations with the well-meaning statement:
Some things you only do when drunk.
Starting a fight shouldn't be one of them.

I guess there is a logic to suggesting that starting a fight is a pleasure best enjoyed sober... but I'm not entirely sure that's their meaning.
