More about Loesje
If you have ever been in the Netherlands, you probably have seen the posters signed by Loesje. Maybe she even turned up in your country;) The anonymous organisation behind that girl's name has been around since the early eighties and started plastering posters with comments on politics and society all over the Netherlands. I have been a fan from when I was a wee girl. Nowadays this activist group is also a writer's collective and regularly publishes books to get people to think. You can find international posters and information on the official website. Have some of my favorites:

"No chocolate," said the Lady. "I do not need you..." - "Ah," said the Chocolate, "but think of the rich, SILKY pleasure as I touch your lips."... Guess who wins in the end?
I love most, if not all poems by Edward Monkton. So I'm pimping his website: Interesting thoughts.
