'Member:  Repetitive, garralous, monotonous messages may be what we think
of when we think of "propaganda," but the US way is flashy,
colorful--downright enjoyable--and that, to me, is what makes it even more
dnagerous than the tiling of Big Brother posters in totalitarian
dystopias.  The Chinese can see that their hopes are sure to be dashed
thanks to the old-style propaganda everywhere; what clues do we have of
our government/media's intentions when entertainment and propaganda are
virtually indistinguishable from one another?
