Hippropaganda

So, early morning today I saw a dozen photocopied "propaganda" posters around PMUBD and the surrounding buildings which read:

IF WE'RE HUNGRY HIPPOS

YOU'RE THE STARVING GIRAFFE

along with sketches of a full-bodied giraffe, a hippo immersed in water and a mocking, smiling face that looks like a pig's, written on a UBD-published full-scap paper with the UBD name striked across and replaced by "SMOKE WEED EVRYDAY"[sic].

Is it a coded or hidden message? A password? A taunt to a specific group? A reference to this game? I found this interesting. Apparently whoever pasted it around there, took yesterday as the ideal time to put it up. It hardly needs a serious investigation but if this continues, we'll soon be in some "exciting" developments.

Analysing the English, it wasn't done by a typical UBD retard - or else they'd already use "your" instead of "you're", but in retrospect it's also probably someone who's not too great either, with the missing middle 'e' in "everyday". In context analysis, the general conveying is to be against the reader - "being hungry" against "starving" implies even though they have problems in being in an unsatisfactory position (hungry), the people they object to, the targets so to speak, are in a more dire situation (starving is to die of lack of food).

Time will tell if these "hippropagandas" show up again, but for now this is G-1 reporting on developments, watch this space.
