Plus, you're anonymous. I think the callback to political propaganda of previous generations (Marxist or otherwise) in the Fairy poster is an intersesting observation though. Other comments...let's keep politics out of this one if possible. Mr. thesearepeoplewhodied…I thought about not approving your comment because I don’t really want this to be a forum for politics.

Before iMacs, iPods, iPhones etc I knew design was out there but just wasn't seeing it in mainstream products. Now that high design has entered into the mainstream via the likes of Apple, Target, Method, MINI etc people now are starting to expect it. It's no longer quirky to buy the nice looking dish soap bottle or clean lined consumer product. Design has definately moved way upstream, mainstream? maybe but definately moving that way. Kurt Robby,

Guess it wasn't ironic at all. But I suppose if you live in a world full of (literal) bomb throwing hippie radicals, racist-in-an-acceptable-way preachers and latte-sipping-Che-T-wearing supporters, you might actually look back with fondness on the grand ol' CCCP.
