Previous Back up our Battleskies posters have gone from warning of workplace dangers to massive guilt trips for taking a day off. 

Beware of Gremlins!    Production Slacker = Deserter

But the best ones are the ones that accuse people of murder through idleness.  After all...

Very scary alright, Sometimes I wonder how I would have dealt with life back then. I could see myself being a WAC!

Exactly. What on earth is the logic in this statement?

Wowzers, what a guilt trip!
I guess these are British/UK from the little I see of the bottom.

Despite the current year being 2012, I suspect we'll be seeing these back in the workplace as bosses employ 1984 tactics of total thought-control :-(

Man: "Ahem, I'm at church right now."

God: "Yes, that 'honor the sabbath' deal? Something you're FIGHTING for?"

Woman: "Could we use this shitty choir as a weapon for victory?"

So the first one is saying, "Get your lazy ass out of that church pew you lazy slacker!"? Wow. That's taking the protestant work ethic to the extreme.

I kind of like the last 3. They remind me of Grateful Dead posters. I wish the places I worked had posters like this. Sure beats the hell out of those cheesy motivational posters everyone makes fun of now. That's one thing today's motivational posters lack: death skulls!

I guess they're talking about making shoddy equipment here. I new a World War II vet who said he and his friends expected to buy it many times when they were bombed by the Germans. But the shells never exploded.

He said he had wondered for 50 years why they were so lucky over and over and then saw Schindler's List.

The guy in the first one looks as if he's going "LALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU GOD!" Why's he in church instead of working, anyway?

I dunno about that guilt trip approach. Wouldn't working nonstop without ever taking time off kind of *cause* those errors you're supposed to report?

She's got her eyes shut, he's got his ears plugged, and… oh yeah, I get it — they're "See no God," "Hear no God," and "Speak no God"!
