This may be the most effective (and affective) poster in the history of advertising. It was designed for World War I recruitment after the Germans sank the passenger ship "Lusitania." In all, 1,153 passengers and crew drowned. One word. Powerful emotions. For the record, we went on to kick the pre-Nazis ass in that war too.

Jim, nice point, but we didn't fight the Nazis in WWI, that would be II.

Ok, the pre-Nazis then. Same difference. Damn you're sharp, Ben.
