What is especially creepy is that the eyes are quite similar to the stylized depiction of the Buddha's eyes in several Asian traditions.

That's part of the message. "We're watching, but we don't care."

And why is the pupil a "no entry" symbol? It's like a vision of Palmer Eldritch.
On the other hand, it's nice that all these talented cover artists have jobs with the government now that science fiction covers are so shitty.

It's not by the police, it's by London Transport. Had the bottom not been clipped off, you'd have seen the London Transport logo.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you.

The advert's not only just up all around London, but there's an accompanying radio advert, in a sort of cod-1940's Pathé News kind of way which is also rather disturbing. "Thousands of citizens make their way home... safe, secure, knowing they are being watched..."

The eyes aren't stop signs - they're London Transport's logo.

It's not surprising that this poster crops up in the land which gave birth to "1984".

Where do I buy one? To go with my Modern Humorist "when you're downloading MP3's you're downloading COMMUNISM" poster.

Hell, Charlie, why are you asking us-all here? Ring up London Transport and ask. :-)
If you decide to become a broker, let us know, because I'd love to buy one too.
