Big Sis Wants To Scare The Hell Into You

If you've managed to avoid the incessant exposure to the Charlie Sheen feeding frenzy currently dominating all media, then perhaps you might have noticed the growing presence of the fear machine known as the U.S Department of Homeland Security. You can find it lurking in scary places such as Wal-Mart, airport security, city sidewalks and there's even claims it will soon be collecting and databasing our DNA. I first noticed something was amiss when I was forced to set foot in Wal-Mart recently.  As I stood in line breaking out in hives from all the toxic Chinese chemicals wafting about, I looked up and saw Janet Napolitano, AKA Big Sis, looming on a screen over me.  Suddenly The Fear took hold. Big Sis was urging shoppers to look around and report anything suspicious. Trembling with anxiety, I dared to look around and soon spotted a highly suspicious grandfatherly character dressed as the Easter Bunny, his clothing completely covered in candy-colored dangling Easter eggs....or were they grenades?  Gripped with terror, I saw a prison escapee, a genetically modified human marshmallow (surely the work of evil scientist counter-terrorists), a hirsute separatist and other highly suspicious characters threatening my safety and security. Big Sis did such an effective job in scaring the living daylights out me that I made a propaganda poster in her honor. Medium: Ink on paper, digital color.
