Dredged up from all of the social|advertising genius of a physics/computer science major is the worlds 13th greatest advertising invention in the last 10 seconds!
From the same man as such epic ideas such as "I'll do it later" and "I don't need to sleep" comes the annoyingly vague posters!

They look like someone mspainted them. They took like 5 minutes to do (And thats because I can't use GIMP.) But, they will be moderately awesome!

Maybe.

Heres the first one.

YOU all need to print this little not-much-ink-required (tm) poster off at least 5 times if you don't go to univeristy, 10 if you do.
And just stick it around the place. Be creative. Put them in catchy places, staple them to traffic cones, on white boards, blank walls, doors, interesting bits of roof, commonly rented library book covers, statutes faces, ontop of other peoples posters, next to feminist posters, next to antiporn posters, near food, near drink, on beer crates, gaming store windows, mimes, toilet doors, fat people, fast food tables.... be imaginative! Make people want to work out what the hell this annoyingly vage poster means!

Hard mode: On tv cameras, infront of cctv cameras, on politicians, entire walls, backs of more than 20 cars....
Expert mode: Mayors, presidents, prime ministers, fire jugglers, UNICEF workers, zombies, parkour dude|ettes.....

Best photo of any YtF poster gets... um.... something nice.

And then the next one. Cunningly playing on societies queasiness regarding the nazis, and drawing a tenous but still annoyingly vague parallel in-between censorship and naziship (Hey, cool. Boats) its not as good as the last one, but what the hell. They don't pay me for this.

VERSION 2:
Here it is.

Given the utter lack of enthusiasm over the last few minutes, the_pragmatist would like to add that he will give $5 to the best placer of a yestofreedom poster. I would like to add that donating towards some full body armour for me when the_pragmatist finds out I'm promising his money would be vastly appreciated.

Also, can someone suggest how to make this one better?

Quite nice: albeit indeed simple, they do the work fine. And the concepts are still awesome.
I might very well print one of these and try to find some place to put it.

I think, I may take part in this challenge, I'll stick them up in a few "interesting" places =P

And then the next one. Needs some rewording. Suggestions appreciated.

Here it is.

I put a few of these awesome posters up. Keep up the good work. I know it must be hard to make completing advertising with what where trying to do on this site, but I believe this is the right direction.

I don't get the first one.

Separate is misspelled. Figure we may as well look coherent if we're going to try and educate folks.

@Spencer: http://www.slate.com/blogs/blogs/humann … raphy.aspx should explain everything
@punkaxxINC: Thanks for pointing that out, I have no idea how no-one noticed that before now.
