Brilliant!

Skeptobot said...

Awesome. Just awesome.

Er, could I just geek up for a second and ask what font you used for the text...

Pareidolius said...

Skeptobot, the font is Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed. Glad you liked it. Look for a G-rated version for more polite company . . .

Dr Rachie said...

Hilarious - will post everywhere I can.

Royimous said...

This is fantastic!

Godfrey Temple said...

Would you mind me versioning it out with modified text and posting it in places like deviantArt?

I would naturally credit you and link back to here.

Pareidolius said...

Dr. Rachie!!!! I'm a huge fan of The Sceptic Zone! I loved your interview on the last podcast; very cool that you went from designer to scientist. Needless to say, I stopped at designer, but I'll keep doing my best to help stop Tooth Fairy Science.

Pareidolius said...

Godfrey. If you alter it:
1. Please don't credit me since it will no longer be mine and . . .
2. Don't include the Institute logo on the bottom.
Other than that, have at it . . .

My exact thoughts on this matter in poster form. Sweet.

Pepe said...

It also reminded me the "scientific studies" about the ice cristals that listened Mozart's music and became beautiful snowflakes LOL... Does that mean that shit is beautiful when listening to Mozart?

Daniel Rendall said...

May I humbly suggest that you engage with an on-line purveyor of T-shirts to make it available in a wearable, machine-washable form?

Liz Ditz said...

Any chance for a version that doesn't use shit?

I work with kids, 12 & under.


I'd like a PG-13 version -- poo or poop would be acceptable. Feces is also acceptable and accurate.

The elementary-school set get in trouble for using sh*t at school, but both poo and poop are acceptable, and of course feces is a "science word".

Great justice. I want to go Sellotape it to pharmacies in the dead of night... bwahahahaha.

Stay Happy!

DT:-)S! Another of my austral heroes! Glad you liked it. The G Rated versions are going up now.

OMG, I love this. I will be adding this to my anti-herbal, anti-hokum, anti-snake oil collection.

Pareidolius, I will remove the graphic at the bottom as well.

itsallaboutmestill said...

I will be adding this to my Anti-Herbal/Hokum Collection. Trust me it will get used!!

Andy Holroyd said...

yorick said...

Let me know if is possible to translate this poster and distribute in my country? I ask because
we do not know, what are the copyrights.

Pareidolius said...

Yorick,
Post a transliteration here and I'll whip one up for you.

Akknumi said...

Hey Pareidolius. Cann I ask for Polish version?

It goes like this:

Jeśli woda ma pamięć
to homeopatia jest
pełna gówna.
Homeopatia: gówno i cukier.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for a pissy... er... pithy, hilarious poster!

Sorry. Potty humor gets me excremeted... er... I mean excited. :-)

Dr. Nancy Malik said...

Homeopathy cures even when Conventional Allopathic Medicine (CAM) fails

Pareidolius said...

Nancy: Vague anecdote. Fail.

Dr. Nancy Malik said...

Homeopathy is evidence based modern medicine for the 21st century

Pareidolius said...

Nancy honey, that sounds like a proverb. Proverbs aren't evidence based.

k1 said...

Awesome poster. Going to post on a homeopathy blog post I'm writing up if you don't mind.
