Over the past several months “keep calm and carry on” has been splashed all over the Internet.

“Keep calm and carry on” was a poster in Great Britain in 1939 during the beginning of World War II.

Today the words have been tweaked to say things like, “keep calm and chive on,” “keep calm and drink on” or “keep calm and go shopping.”

Why do I have to keep calm? Sometimes, when a situation of extreme panic arises I’d rather freak out. It’s human nature.

And if I had been living in London during World War II, I definitely would’ve freaked out.

Slogan’s can be funny, and I know that in stressful times they help boost morale. But how many different ways can the words to this slogan be changed and actually be funny or have any meaning at all?

There comes a point when a slogan is overused.

We’ve reached that point.

Maybe there should be a new slogan that says, “When all hell breaks loose, do whatever you want.”

Or maybe we should just put this slogan to rest and “carry on”.
