You've Done Your Duty to Your Country

I found it an odd juxtaposition of evoking American patriotism while screaming "foreign".
In case the pic doesn't come through, it says "You've done your duty to your country [by voting]. Now do your duty to your [printed circuit board] designs."
The average American reads "You've done your duty to your country," and their first visceral reaction is "Wait, who are you to tell me what duties I have signed up for?"
Even the name Royal Circuits... People in other places use "royal" positively, as in "Royal Shopping Centre". Over half the time I hear that words it's in the context of "royal pain in the neck."
{Sarcasm}I hope you did your duty to your country, Americans!
