Here's an extract from the original cartoon:

Strange, I hadn't seen that – thought that this was the original. (Hey, look at that, DAF are in the 'related videos' !)
Is it worrying that I keep humming that tune... Is it also worrying that my favourite opera is Der Ring Des Nibelungen, by Wagner (the anti-Semitic composer loved by Hitler) ? I do very much love the Nibelunglied (for all you who don't know what Die Walküre [The Valkyries] are – they're what the blonde woman in the video wearing the horned helmet is a caricature of).

20th Century propaganda is certainly very interesting – organisations would never get away with anything as blunt as that nowadays. No, they now have to be subtle and use emotive buzzwords like 'Terrorism' in order to scare the shit out of the public into doing whatever they are told : a simple stall raising awareness on an issue can now be "promoting 'terrorism'". I've discussed this before – the way that causing financial 'damage' to a corporation is now 'terrorism' in Britain.

We're fucked.
