Task
Poster text:
Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disk players and electric tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food in to your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life

Edited text:

Choose ethics. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a purpose. Choose a fucking moral principle. Choose Social equality, economic prosperity and environmental stewardship

Choose good health, low ink coverage, and minimal waste. Choose environmentally friendly business practices. Choose a conscious design. Choose your friends. Choose renewables and educated consumers. Choose the best way to communicate the message and lessen the fucking impact. Choose prosperity and knowing who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose respect and care for the community, improved quality of life, minimised the depletion of nonrenewable resources. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, recycled and biodegradable, more than just plastic packaging and wasteful leaflets, an intrinsic good. Choose your future. Choose life.
