Propaganda. Which film was arguably the first propaganda film?

[yellowperil]

The strange thing about that political ad with the nuclear bomb and the little girl is that it was shown only once before it was pulled, yet when polled at the time, many Americans claimed they saw it multiple times.

I am not always a fan of moonbeam's posts, but that was some classic stuff. It may well be the most eloquent &quot;In your face, bitch!&quot; that I have ever read.


You go girl!

I would agree - most Americans don't realize that they are being brainwashed even as we speak....

I would argue that Americans in general don't &quot;get&quot; something until you beat it into our heads repeatedly. Subtle is not a word that defines either American propaganda/advertising or the psyche of its population.

&quot;Could you please consider the possibility that your observations are dilusional the figment of an overwrought sensitivity and masked sense of inferiority and that any disgust you experience is self generated and about yourself.&quot;

dilusional, figment of an overwrought sensitivity and masked sense of inferiority...self generated and about<i>myself.</i>

I'll end my obviously futile attempt to convert the verbatim whore, with what i said before.

&quot;I don't know who burnt your cookies but your sarcasm can be quite offending. Rest assured there is atleast one person who thinks so.&quot;

My cookies aren't burnt, I'm not upset, not even with you. Everything's OK over here. Hope you are too. My sarcasm, as you call it, my take on things, wasn't meant to offend. But if you are offended I am sorry, but also, it's not my responsibility. You have to take responsibility for how you feel. If things upset you that shouldn't or that weren't meant to, that really is your problem. I'm not going to quit being who I am while waiting for you mellow.
