Sure its a pastiche and most probably created for fun, but its these self initiated projects that keep us all sane. also, technically they are well executed and had this guy beaten all the others to the punch them I am sure we would be singing praises. Long story short this guy has put a lot of effort into these, so although its been done practically to death, at least recognize the technical ability, its easy to copy, but to copy well is an art in itself.

I still adore the original poster, but seeing a thousand and one 'witty' send-ups is really getting quite tiresome. We can all copy a classic piece of design and put a zingy line in it, but what's the point? Ah yes, the ‘Keep Calm & Carry on’ fiasco.
