You know those motivational posters? Like a team of skydivers in formation with a bold caption saying “TEAMWORK”? Sure you do. Well, a new company has gotten into the Inspirational Poster manufacturing game, and you’ll never guess who it is. That’s right, America’s favorite mercenaries, Blackwater, are now selling motivational posters featuring photos of Blackwater contractors. It turns out they’re having some cash flow problems and need some extra money. We looked through and picked out our favorite design for you: a stop-lossed American soldier with no body armor on a Baghdad street corner with the caption “HANG IN THERE!”
