“Keep Calm and Carry On” was actually a slogan hung on posters in England in WWII. The really fun ones are the bright red ones like http://words.grubbykid.com/images/20070702-keep_calm.jpg

Anyways, just WWII propaganda still finding its way around.

Very cool, I hadn’t heard of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon or “Keep Calm and Carry On.” I must say that most of what I’ve learned in my intro to sociology class affected me like this. The comfortable distances allowed in our culture (5ft stranger, 3ft acquaintance, closer friend) and studied non-observance. Anyway, very nice to have a phrase to describe it, “Baader-Meinhof phenomenon” eh?
