Earlier posters were either too flag-waving, too on-the-nose, or too pointedly simple-minded. This one combines elements from previous efforts and somehow, in doing so, is the best of the lot. It trumpets the up yours America theme and is too obvious and too on-the-nose and pointedly simple-minded, yet is one of the most memorable posters I've seen.
This will make the 'best of 2012' list.
