Is there a dutch mindfuck that I could put in there instead?
not from the top of my head, but that's a good idea i keep forgetting, i should go through my own selected list
of decent memebombs (
http://www.shorttext.com/ep45b) and see which ones can be translated properly to Dutch.
Or more of a particular one that you dig instead of the ones I'll be omitting?
going through my list, ones that i like a lot:
- Kill Your Idols.
- those who don't queston their own beliefs probably shouldn't have any
- HIMEOBS (ok not in the memebomb list, but i could use some HIMEOBS stickers)
- We care about your saftey as much as you care about our profit margin. -The Mgt
- It's only due to modern technology that you can be as pleasingly plump as you are.
- Fear of consequence doesn't equal a lack of choice (i dont even know if i agree with this, but it's a good one to make ppl STOP!THINK!)
- fuck your brand of individuality.
- CONFUSE EVERYONE
- what is stopping you from doing something so cool that it renders you IMMORTAL?
- No, you're not a rebel.
(more coming, but i'm gonna hit post now)
another thing is, there's this Dutch organisation called "Loesje" (see
http://www.loesje.org/ -- the site is in english) which is basically about printing posters with memebombs on em and pasting them at places. the only thing is that ours seem better, Loesje is a bit between in the middle of the old pineal fnord happiness and our current cynism. its messages are politically laden, but do not always hit the point (in favour of making a pun, or just an easy shot) and others are kinda poetic "seize the day" kind of things.
it beats commercial advertising or blind walls, though. but our meme bombs are a bit more confronting, Loesje believes in leftist ideals, and make the average lefty-hippie nod, while our memebombs are targeted to shake up everybody, i picked part of the above list not just because i agree with them, but also because they still present
me with a mirror, of sorts.
If you don't get too specifically Dutch I'd be obliged, the minute I have a printer I'm plastering Germany with these beauts.
I'd be glad for a higher proportion of "freedom is a verb". I like that one a lot and think it would be good here.
i think "freedom is a verb" would only be picked up by people interested in linguistics and such, over here.
as you can see from my selection, i picked a lot of the annoy/disappoint/shake up the left/hippies style texts, cause for all the slogans and stuff you see stickered and scrawled, most of them are of the socialist/anarchist/lefty sort. (oh and a few of the "Geert Wilders" style intolerance/hatred/racism things pop up from time to time, but they get defaced within no time, i don't need to bother with that)
