Nothing like the fun of critiquing cultural propoganda!

Course, here in the good ole US of A, we've got Sesame Street to teach our kids bout hygiene (think the green Garbage dude, I forget his name! lol), letters & the Cookie Monster!

We've also had cartoons promoting environmental brainwashing (think Captain Planet) and conservation (Smokey the Bear) and citizenship (McGruff the dog)... so it's not like we can really say anything!

Fun stuff!

It's so scary that it's cool! Such a peaceful, clean, happy, democratic country filled with police who will protect me, smile with me, and hold my hand. Wooo-hoooo! Now I'm even more excited about my first trip to China in April!

Because we are the people The people of the country The country for the people A land like no other

Because we are the people We vote to do our duty The duty of the people In a land like no other

And flying kites And holding hands And helping each other In a land for the people

Cheers, Robert

peepy,

Gorillaz?? Come on, those cartoon characters are drawn much better than the ones in this propaganda toon!

Melissa,

I agree with you that everyone looks sleepy. I guess maybe the secret to making the nation all harmonious is to keep everyone heavily sedated?

I thought all the charactors looked half asleep in the majority of the scenes, and I aslo have to agree with the comments above; Gorillaz band members totally!

At least counting noses (nose?) gives those of us who cannot understand Chinese something to do.
