I can't get enough of these - I think it's hilarious. They're the billboards all over Warsaw (and, presumably, everywhere else in Poland) that look like the I <3 NY t-shirt, but say I [block] PL. Does anyone know where I can get a t-shirt of this?

The red rectangle has become the trademark of Gazeta Wybiórcza (as some call it), and younger peoplel probably don't know why. Originally it truly was the Election Gazette, set up to promote the Solidarity election campaign of June 1989, and in that space was the Solidarność logo. But once they got into power the Michnik gang turned the paper into a mouthpiece for the leftist KOR-ite intellectuals whilst increasingly distancing themselves from the interests, needs and aspirations of the worker core of Solidarność. Wałęsa finally forbade the further use of the Solidarność logo, so they created a red patch in its place and so it has remained to this day.

@Polonius3 - that's a really interesting history, and it makes me curious to learn more. Thanks for that. I'll contact Gazeta, but I don't expect they'll be much help! Any other thoughts?

It's the best anti-Polish paper around. Get yourself a Che Guevara T-shirt instead.

Thanks for the tip, Harry. I think I'll make one for myself. Is your birthday coming up, no doubt you're an Agora fan.
