Ho, ho, ho, well if it isn't fat stinking billygoat Billyboy?

The Casual Pepper-Spraying Cop has found his niche: he's a droog, and he's up for a bit of the old ultra-aerosol.

Droogs (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I don’t have the skills, but this iconic image is dying for the treatment:

Pepper-plus and a bit of the old ultrapolicebrutality

This is one of the best ones I’ve seen so far, especially if you know the movie (mild spoiler).

Later two of the droogs become cops. Exactly the kind of cops you’d expect.

To me the truly iconic meme is the one the blends indistinguishably. This one wins hands-down — so far.

Can you spare me some cutter me brothers?

No. But we can spare you some orangeness. This ‘shop is brilliant on several levels.

I saw a dirty overcoat
At the foot of the pillar of the road
Propped inside was an old man
Whom time would not erode

The night was snapped by sirens
Those blue lights circled past
The dancehall called for an ambulance
The bars all closed up fast

I also had a Clockwork Orange flashback when I heard about Lt. John Pig, but I thought of Dim: a subhuman thug who gets to vent his criminal lust for ultraviolence by putting on a uniform.

This is awesome on all kinds of levels.

I wonder just how horrified Kubrik would be to see that the world is pretty much reflecting his works.

Then again, he might have been amused all to hell; the guy was a bit loopy.
