Keep Calm and Reuse Memes

I have more Keep Calm spoofs for more countries.  The last time I tried this, it fell victim to my problems getting graphics to work on this blog, but those are fixed now.  So if you want to finally see topical humour about the U.S. 2012 election, go ahead.  But here's some new stuff:

Keep Calm and Approve This Message

Awhile back I did some spoofs of the ubiquitous "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters.  I didn't do an American version of the poster, due to the polarised nature of current American culture.  It's hard to condense a country down to five words at the best of times.  So instead I gave each half of the country its own poster, advising them how to deal with stress:

And, for the swing states:

Keep Calm and Something Ironic

I was going to write a rant about how I'm sick of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters and their various spoofs.  After all, the whole phenomena has really run its course.  Beyond the original, there's really only three more permutations you can try: satire ("Get Panicky and Go Mental,") weirdness ("Keep Calm and Have a Donut,") and gratuitous subculture references ("Keep Calm and Han Shot First.")  Now people are scrounging for variations and the results usually aren't funny or meaningful.  Often, they can't even be bothered to get the font right (Humanist, people!  It's the only font they have in Britain.)

But then I realised that there is another avenue that hasn't been explored: other countries.  The reason the poster was so amusing in the first place was because it was so distinctly British.  It's rare that you see an artefact that sums up a culture's qualities (well, best qualities) so perfectly.  So I thought, what would the equivalent posters in other countries be?
