Homeland Security logo contest finalists

Here is Rick Abruzzo's contribution to the Department of Homeland Security's logo contest.  This is great stuff!

You amused me, so I amuse you...   Here is something I wrote. So the finalists are in for the logo for the newly-minted Department of Homeland Security, the freshest-smelling department in the Federal Government.  The link goes to a site where you view the selected pieces and submit comments, with a note from the site:   "PLEASE, BE CONSTRUCTIVE WITH YOUR COMMENTS."   They don't know me too well, do they?   Well I grabbed a few and decide to make my own snarky comments.

Oh this nice, trying to out-creep the DARPA logo, who needs all-seeing pyramids when you have Robo-Bird:  Postmodern Protector of the World.  Please save us, Federal Gov't!  Federal Gov't here, we'll protect your Prada purse with our Laser-Eye Eagle-Shaped Cookie Jar.  I also like how the stars are fucked up and unevenly spaced.	I didn't realize the Government started a title company.  These will look nice on the insurance adjustor's truck.
Department of Shitty Clipart.  I also like the Skittles Security Alert colors around the bottom, it deftly reflects our Taste the Rainbow attitude towards terrorism.  The gray gradient-faux steel look:  Homeland Security-faux sense of security.	Our anime eagle warrior will defeat you in an intimidating staring contest.
En garde! I Can't Believe It's Not Bureaucracy.  11 stars, wtf?  Each star represents each minute you spent designing this cottage cheese label.	Homage to the energy companies that run this country.  Where's Captain America's lawyer?
I really like this one. It was created by a blue ribbon panel.  It was their group wisdom not to put an eagle on the logo, but instead have Old Glory protected by massive wingspan of the majestic Duck-billed Flatasquish, a rare bird known for their one-dimensional feel and have been recently saved from the brink of destruction as they were hunted and made into Chinese fans.  Nice aim on the stars, Tex.. way to think outside the lines.	Stark, clean, simple, boring.  I'm glad to see they didn't exclude Microsoft Word users.  What hell is wrong with this guy, United States of America up-side down?  Gives me the impression that DHS is crushing USA under it's weight.

Greetings from Argentina!
Bloody hilarias site!!
Why have you missed the last pitiable logo?
It's as shitless-scaring as the others and it deserves its place on the podium. Haven't you noticed the moronic explaations? The Pentagon is there, for fuck's sake! AND 3 Trade Towers! (?)
