Battlestar Galactica Propaganda Posters

Posted by Alex Zalben



I’m allowed one geeky post a day, right? What? All of my posts are geeky? Okay, enough, people, stop riding me! Especially the imaginary people in my head who are chiding me for not posting more couches and silverware sets.

So yeah, I’m a big fan of Battlestar Galactica. The series, for those of you who don’t like things that are good, is an extremely well written and acted exploration of what makes us human. It’s dark, original, and probably one of the best series on television, ever.

Hyperbole out of the way, look at the funny posters!

Think Geek has a bunch of five, officially licensed Battlestar Propaganda posters, each 22" by 17" and printed on heavy 100 pound satin-finish paper. That’s some quality, people.

The posters are alt-y enough that they won’t look out of place next to the vintage Communist Party art on your wall, yet geeky enough to start a long discussion with your friends about which Number Six is hotter.

FYI, the correct answer is President Roslin. It’s a trick question!

I LOVE these.  I am currently conducting an email negotiation with the boyfriend to determine if these are too nerdy for him to allow them to hang on our mutually shared walls.

A) They're not too nerdy for ANY walls, anywhere.

B) Let us know what happens.

Oh, I completely won.  I ordered them yesterday and they are on their way.  I just have to let him hang up his stupid disney monorail poster (and he calls me a nerd, at least I am a nerd about normal nerd things like science fiction and the simpsons, who nerds out over walt disney?)

...He should talk to my friend Stefan, who listens to about five Disney podcasts a day, and has been to all three Disneys in the past year.

    • about the blogger

    Wendy Atterberry is a recent transplant to New York City via Chicago. You can often find her at some karaoke dive bar singing her repertoire, which includes "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Daniel," and most recently, "Sweet Dreams." Don't expect her to always hit the right notes. She lives in Manhattan with her boyfriend and two cats, and has a blog like everyone else.

    Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

    Steph Auteri is a freelance writer and proofreader who has been published in Publishers Weekly, New York Press, Playgirl, and other bastions of fine writing. She maintains a professional site http://www.stephiswrite.com, and also blogs about freelancing over at Freelancedom. You can keep up on her day-to-day by visiting her Twitter page.

    Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.
