These people fear for the future of speed cameras, and not in a good way.

The reason I'm putting this picture here is that I wanted at first to put it up at White Rose, as an example of the direction speed cameras are heading in, ho ho. But I am forbidden to upload pictures to White Rose. I can only put up words there. Which is probably the wisest arrangement.

So then I thought, I'll do a small bit at White Rose, and then link to b3ta.com, where I found this picture. The trouble with that is that nothing ever stays put at b3ta.com and they don't let you link to individual pictures. Or if they do, I don't know how.

So then I thought, I know, I'll stick it up here, and then link from White Rose to here, while giving b3ta.com their credit by linking to them also.

So now I have to explain why this is cultural.

I could just refer you to the slogan at the top of this blog. But I think that there's a little more to say than that. This set of pictures does make the point that computer programmes like Photoshop have opened up a whole new world of popular art (of a sort that the people at b3ta.com specialise in), of such things as kittens with the heads of eagles, famous paintings with moustaches and added captions, celebrity morphing combinations, and, as here, adulterated signposts. How Stalin would have loved it.

Actually, as I think may already have been commented here when I said something similar here a while ago, Stalin would not have loved Photoshop, because his rearrangement and deletion effects depended on people not realising that he was doing this sort of thing, and now everyone does realise.

Changing the subject, I'm now two thirds of the way through Kieslowski's Three Colours. I thought Blue was tripe, and considered leaving it at that. But I gave White a go, since I'd already got it out of Blockbuster, and I'm glad I did because it was much more amusing. So, I'll definitely be viewing Red between now and 10pm tonight when it has to be back in Blockbuster.
