Light Bulbs Stamped Engraved and Tattooed!


Update Oct 27: Edit error left out the bottom part of the content






Returning to the ongoing series of memorial/tribute type posts on the blog,
there are other ways of commemorating light bulb images...

To begin with, already posted last year, repeated for completeness:
Satire from the German blog Otitis Media di Monaco (also see the light bulb condom post), with a look at his stamp collection in a GDR or for that matter EUSSR or a Soviet EUnion mode...


GDR CFL stamp series

Contrary to popular belief, the state-planned socialist economy of communist Eastern Germany is not dead; instead, the EU in Brussels is issuing electric policies and spreading propaganda lies that are strangely reminiscent of the days of Nicolaie Ceausescu and Enver Hodscha [Hoxha].


No wonder that the old East German stamps just got an upgrade!



Beautiful european mercury poison mushroom of the novel compact fluorescent kind.

Last, but not least, catch a glimpse of the beauty of Communist single party rule that inspired the well known con(servation) artist Andris Piebalgs, better known as the EU’s Energy Commissioner, to paint such a heroic eurocratic light bulb change brigadier…



Candle power... better than some modern alternatives? ;-)

... while in future remembering the CFL by burying it ? ;-)








The Zazzle.com site has creative options...





including on metal....





...and how about on skin for real permanence? ;-)

So that's where the tattoo went to!
As with all satire there is truth in there too. The EU does not sound like a very free place to live. Not much better in the USA.
