I personally think I am more influenced by humorous and subtler forms of propaganda, as it is trickier to identify and subsequently ignore them. The blatant tone of many ads (government sponsored or otherwise) during that era always surpasses me, and I think they would not be so effective today.<br /><br />With that in mind, I found an interesting series of WWII era propaganda posters tweaked for a 21st century application, which are a great link between the propaganda of half a century ago and the "Twitter Revolutions" of today.<br /><br />Tell me what you think.<br /><br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2011/jan/22/brian-moore-wwiii-propaganda-posters#/?picture=370798280&index=0Your Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303035232999887961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5326881424995827428.post-91438799856719406292011-01-24T15:14:15.738-05:002011-01-24T15:14:15.738-05:00Oooh, the goldfish and the rocket ship are kind of...Oooh, the goldfish and the rocket ship are kind of trippy.

As a mash-up of your propaganda post and your recent bloggings on Chinese diplomacy, I saw <a href="http://www.calendars.com/Asian-Art/Chinese-Propaganda-Posters-2011-Wall-Calendar/prod1289526/?categoryId=cat00004" rel="nofollow">this</a> recently in a bookstore and was excited at the title, but then disappointed by the actual images.
