Satan Is My Graphic Designer
The Commie photo was taken at night so the colors are screwed, but these posters look eerily similar.
Apparently the Devil’s marketing department has been using the classic Red-White-Black scheme for the Nazis, Communists, and Death Metal. These colors are pretty damn close to cultural universals in that all peoples can recognize them as Blood, Britney Spears, and Tupac. It’s a very powerful color scheme and I personally use it as much as possible. Here they also used the same blood spatter look for the commie star and ‘Rock Saturday’. I personally think that Wimal would make a great front man for a Death Metal band. A little eye make-up and a cape and he’d be good to go.
When May Day comes I’ll maybe point out the collosal and genocidal failures of Communism this century. Like, what are you celebrating? The USSR falling? China selling out? North Korea’s Eternal Bosom of Hot Love? Bah. In more interesting news I have heard that there is a ‘Legalize Marijuana’ rally on May Day itself. If we could somehow combine all these events… perhaps a marijuana benefit concert, headlined by Wimal Weerawansa and The JVP Death Squad. That would be awesome.
*PS*. I’ve been looking for that poster the Crazy Monks made of the LTTE victim dead in his lunch packet, but no dice. I think there’s some in Rajagiriya, but I cannot for the life of me think of a good reason to get down in there. If anyone cares there are posters of a dead man near the fetid canal of human filth in Rajagiriya. Near McDonalds.
I started off not really liking General Sarath Fonseka, him being part of the aggressive war effort. I didn’t support the war (largely cause I thought it would fail), and I thought Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and Fonseka were gleefully stomping everything. Fonseka even came out and said “I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese but there are minority communities and we treat them like our people,” in 2008 (
General Sarath Fonseka was arrested on a bunch of trumped up charges, but mainly for daring to threaten Mahinda in a Presidential election. Despite his poor health, Fonseka was arrested in February 2010 and sentence to three years. Word on the street now, however, is that he’ll be released soon. Like any day now. President Mahinda Rajapaksa has told 
I’ve been testing a lot of apps. A very interesting one is iPlayboy, from Playboy magazine. It’s bad porn but a good magazine, especially since you can read issues from its cultural heyday – the Mad Men era of the 60s.
I’m going to get back to blogging. I buy a shitload of stuff on my iPad. Not that I like spending money, and the exchange rate terrifies me, but it’s just so easy, and so good. For example, I’ve been reading comics again. Spiderman, and 
There are also loads on Havelock Road, right up to Town Hall and beyond to Fort and Pettah. Enjoy the lovely, socially conscious world, of Sri Lanka’s finest extremists.
