Back in the mists of time (early 2009 to be precise) the phenomenon that is “Keep Calm and Carry On” was in full swing. Posters were appearing everywhere, news articles could barely resist mentioning “Keep Calm” and even the police got into the act with their Policing Pledge posters which seemed to bear an eerie resemblance to everyone's favourite wartime poster.

So, with all that in mind, what better than a parody site allowing people to create their own posters? A flash of frantic coding later, and the Keep Calm-o-matic was born! The site was the the first Keep Calm poster generation site on the web, and it remains the best and most popular one by a long way.
