    That’s impressive, they’re all properly stuck and difficult to remove. How’d they do that? Spray the wall and adhere the posters? Or were the posters already backed by glue, basically giant stickers?

      I can’t be certain, but this is probably done with wheatpasting. It can be done at volume and quite quickly.

    And that’s Andre the Giant, interestingly enough.

      Which is in turn a reference to the film, They Live

      Here’s more info about the Andre poster

    I like this. The original Obey only makes sense if you know it’s supposed to be satire / criticism. I’m afraid lots of people (aside of 90% not caring) don’t get it, it’s just like Fight Club being a cult movie among toxic dudes not understanding that the movie is (failing at) criticising them.

      Stephen Miller apparently really misunderstood the film Casino (1995) and reportedly immatated and dressed like De Niro’s character throughout highschool.

      Obey the poster that says “don’t obey.”

      Thank goodness most people can think beyond the logical loop.
