How to Spot a Cylon
These posters are a steal at $19.95, when you think of all the human lives they might save. A few of the cylon-spotting tips displayed:
★ Do they exhibit sociopathic behavior around other humans, especially defenseless children?
★ Are they unusually adept, almost empathic, with machines?
★ Does their spine glow red when they get... excited?

What a shame that they frakked it up by not simply cutting off the corners. This is made even worse by the fact that they made put a logo in the upper left, thus defeating those that would have cut the corners off themselves.
I think it is entirely possible that this poster is itself the work of cylons.
oh man that poster is awesome, *orders* i'll cut the corners off myself!
:(
According to this poster, I may be a Cylon.
I agree. Verisimilitude demands it.
Although, honestly? The idea that an entire civilization on the other side of the galaxy decided to adopt the inefficient standard of cutting the corners off of all its paper is about as laughable as the idea that it also produced someone who just happened to write "All Along The Watchtower."
Man - that "All Along The Watchtower" episode. What the hell were they thinking.
BTW - While we're being pedantic, it always bugged me that they were supposedly indistinguishable from humans except by some complex DNA test cooked up by the dodgy doctor, but had glowing sexy spines, and Boomer even plugged wires right into her arm once... Couldn't you just check their backs for red LEDs? Or check for USB sockets in their arms?
Awesome find Xeni!
Another way to spot a Cylon is they wear American flag lapel pins all the time.
And don't forget, all speeches are made with Shure microphones. And Starbuck's mom smoked Marlboro Lights.
Couldn't somebody grab a Sharpie or some tape on the set?
Ironically, this poster confirms my suspicions about Nicole Kidman. Thanks for posting my link to warn others!
Pablissimo (#5): tvtropes.org has a great time pointing out the glowing spines issue. "In the miniseries and the first few episodes, it is shown that Cylon spines glow during sex. However, this was officially retconned by producers when it was pointed out that Dr. Baltar would then have a 100% accurate Cylon detector. In his pants."
The reason Baltar couldn't tell a Cylon from a human is because THEY'RE All CYLONS! He's got a mental block in his android brain that prevents him from recognizing and admitting the truth.

No, you're thinking of lizards.
