Just found this on YouTube so I though I should share it. This reminded me of the WW2 propaganda poster "Careless talk costs lives". I never expected this of the British MoD to do something so quick as this. What is WW3 already on our doorstep that its literally coming up? I think that this is taking it a bit too far with the whole GWOT-thing.

Thoughts?

I just lol'ed at 0:40



PS I think this is the right forum for it, because it has a terrorist in it.
PPS If this has been already posted then mods feel free to delete.
PPPS This is my first proper post and I like to contribute, so please be gentle.

funny, at least they are trying to have a sense of humour.... however I think it's about right, we are verging on something and I guess we just see a bit of more of things like this..

ETA: until they start censoring the net proper.

I know right? I may not live in the UK anymore but I thought that this was pretty stupid, especially when the terrorist came up? I cracked up laughing.

Silliness aside.

Who, in their right mind (even if they have the resources) to search the millions of UK Facebook users about any kind of info to the British army's doings?

IMAGINE...

No wonder I left...

Huh, you have a point there and I just realised that. But the whole concept just baffles me still.

OMG! When the words on the screen came up in the end:

"It may not be just friends and family reading your update... Think before you tweet..."

I just wanted to scream, oh yeah??? Well...
"It may not be just enemies you're bombing... Think before you invade!"
