Meat Council Poster Totally Looks Like WW2 Nazi Propaganda

Scary
My thoughts exactly
it’s the exact same rinkles on the shirt too 0_o
skary…:O
Fight for your fuhrer and meat!
it would’ve been kewler if it had read Kampft fur deine hackfleisch und rot kopf
My god… You’re right! Can’t we come up with anything original?
The “American Meat Council” struck me as odd, because Beef producers and Pork, for instance, producers are rivals, not allies. Sure enough, the poster is not from the American Meat Council, but from a local grocery supplier in Oklahoma City, called “Fleming Foods.”
well, come on, there was a rationing problem during WW2 in america. people were saving as much as they could of food so they could support the war effort. people even started growing “victory gardens” they were simply patches of grass where people would grow their own food so they wouldn’t have to buy it, thus help the war effort.
MEANWHILE, in germany, kids are burning books and Harrison ford is disguised as a german officer and is getting Hitler’s autograph by accident.
um…i think you’ve watched “Last Crusade” a few too many times
…wow. thats definately a tracing job, i think the meat council need a new illustrator.
heil meat?
Nein, Heil Fleisch!
That should wor better.
work*
Curse me and my misspelling.
that is eerie….
look at it. the face is the same, even the folds in the shirt are identical…
and the fold in the flag is the same
yeah that is absolutely the same image.
It’s a palate swap
They went too far in copying that imo. That is scary.
Wow, that’s really scary
I guess the message is the Nazis suck, so it’s okay to steal from them?
That’s pretty f-ed up.
Well, YUH.
i’m glad i’m vegetarian! and a jew!
im a vegetarian too… i refuse to heil the meat.
That’s funny, because Hitler was a vegetarian, too! Isn’t that funny? Hitler was a big-government, tree-hugging, gun-grabbing, pro-abortion, vegetarian socialist.
Hitler was a fascist, not a socialist. Key differences involved there.
He was also devoutly Christian. Now isn’t that funny?
This post has been brought to you by Godwin’s Law.
Facism is a common element of socialism. He did run the National Socialist Party after all.
Mussolini, Hitler’s Buddy, described Fascism as the confluence of the Corporation and the State, i.e. State Supported Capitalism. Fascists hate Socialism (State Supported “Workerism”). That’s why the Nazis busted unions and murdered REAL Socialists.
You are confusing political ideologies (who the government should support and be run by–the Wealthy vs Everyone Else) with tactics (Democracy vs Authoritarianism).
Political knowledge fail.
The National Socialist Party were Fascist.
Name != ideology.
Australia’s Liberal Party, for example, is the country’s main conservative party.
Hitler was NOT a “devout Christian”. Don’t spread bullsh*t.
I thought hitler was jewish… since is parents were jewish.
Hitler was not jewish, that’s just a rumor that will not die. I took a class with a woman who spent her entire life basically, just researching nazis and hitler. He was definitely not jewish.
Hitler wasn’t a vegetarian, you dope. He pretended to be–just like he pretended not to smoke–because he thought it made him look more pure in the eyes of the people, but in reality, he loved meat. To quote his personal chef, “I do not mean to spoil your appetite for stuffed squab, but you might be interested to know that it was a great favorite with Mr. Hitler…”
Even if Hitler WAS a vegetarian, what would that prove? You know who wasn’t? Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, etc. OH NOES dat meenz all-meat eatres r EVOL!!!11 durr
No he was not a vegetarian. Later in life he had to lay off of meat occasionally for digestive problems, but to call that vegetarian is like calling us vegetarian because we don’t eat meat for the third of the day that we sleep.
Aaaaactually… Hitler wasn’t vegetarian. =] Just a common belief. You should probably check your facts before spouting off nonsense.
Sorry, to many source close to Hitler indicate that, he indeed, was a vegeterian.
This has been confirmed by Albert Speer, Traudl Junge and Adolf Hitler himself.
Hitler did eat meat occasionally, but cut it almost entirely out of his diet. He only very rarely ate meat. This is a historical fact. While some vegetarians object to calling him such (especially because they often think (obviously incorrectly) that because Hitler did something, that is bad), the reality is that he was only a few sausages away from one.
It is a common myth that hitler was a vegitarian, he wasn’t. His chef dispelled this myth telling the press he regularly ate a variety of different types of birds. Also if you are going to lump all socialists (of which Hitler was not one) together, then by that very statement all capitalists must be murderous, war hungry crazies like G.W.
Just like Hitler!
yeah 21th century… guys online dont know the difference between hitler and meat….
The 21ST century… >.>
pwned.
But Hitler is meat. Most people are meat. But eating that meat is generally frowned upon in most cultures.
Even I’m edible! But that my dear children, is called cannibalism, and is generally frowned upon in most societies.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
i’m a big jew, but not a vegetarian. Tried that, almost ate my own arm.
I didn’t try the veggie thing, I would eat my arm, I know it! But I’m a Jew too!
Well, at least your arm is kosher.
Bada bing!
oo how did that taste? xP
Better to be a vegan! Like me!
better to shoot myself in the face
Vegans rule!!
Pagans rule!!
Well then why not go all the way and become Fructarian right away? Plants are living beings as well, aren’t they?
Yes but they are not sentient, have no brains or nerve endings, and are not at all comparable to animals. And before you even start with the whole “Secret Lives Of Plants” thing:
http://skepdic.com/plants.html
It is what is known as “an entirely arbitrary demarcation”. While true that plants do not have central nervous systems, or even nerves, it is untrue that they are unable to register pain; they can indeed “feel” it in a sense, or at a very minimum sense it.
Vegans are very holier than thou about such things because they don’t really understand biology. There’s no reason that killing a shrimp is inherently worse than chopping down a tree. Its simply that they don’t want to acknowledge the fact that, in fact, all living things can sense when their environment is bad for them. While they do not perceive the world in the same way humans do, even very simple organisms can sense that their environment is bad for them.
Vegans are bad people because they are in denial about what they’re doing. I understand what I’m doing by eating meat, but they don’t understand what they’re doing by cutting down trees, eating vegetables, or taking medications.
You are dumb, ignorant and lowbrow. Indeed they know that plants can feel pain. But like you said plants can feel only a minimum of pain while animals are very much like us. So vegans choose the lesser evil.
So vegans can justify eating plants cause they feel “less pain” and thats less less evil? So your saying vegans still do evil things but not to the extent of their meat eating counterparts?
Scary, but not surprising. Let’s see… your average beef pundit tends to be a swaggering GOP Texan type, often known for their hateful intolerance of anyone not Just Like Them. Sort of like the Nazi Party, yes?
The fact that the illustrator for the Meat Council is completely lacking in originality and stole from someone else is just icing.
I was waiting for some bleeding heart moron to come along and make this observation.
And I was waiting for some inbred low-forehead hate-mongering douche to make exactly that reply.
And I was waiting for some idiot who can’t take the truth to make that statement.
I was waiting for cookies and punch….i think i’m in the wrong place :p
And I was waiting for an irrelevant and derailing, yet humorous, reply, such as yours.
I’ve been waiting… for a girl like you!
I’ve been waiting for this moment for all of my life… oh, lord…
And i had the time of my life, and i owe it all to you!
“You… owe… me… AWE!”
I was waiting to post a funny comment here, but i waited to long…now i is not funny
My generation is zero.
Yeah, if you want to post something funny and witty, you have to do it in the first few minutes. Then it’s too late.
Move on to the next image, please.
Hey BBB,
Great name. Your finger get stuck on that key after the booger on it hardened? LOL
For the record, O knuckle-dragging waste of DNA, I am a registered nonpartisan. I believe strongly in issues on both sides. If you’ve got a problem with that, come explain your issues to me and my .45… we’ll see whose heart “bleeds” more then, mmkay? *kisses*
“Great name. Your finger get stuck on that key after the booger on it hardened? LOL”
Wow, that was weak.
So was the whole “internet toughguy” vibe of the whole rest of the post as well.
Yeah, that sort of thing has never, ever happened in this or any other online forum before.
Are you little tykes just jealous because your wit isn’t up to the challenge? People get nasty on here, especially in the political areas. Don’t like it? Don’t come here. And have someone change your diapers. You’re stinking up the place.
Can we all put out e-peens back in our e-pants, plzthx
*our
dammit
Can I put my e-peen in YOUR e-pants instead?
You’re obviously an intelligent individual. That’s why you’re able to be objective and support issues on both sides. That must also be why you resort to threats of violence when someone calls you “moron”.
I’ll be by to “explain my issues” this afternoon. See you then.
*rises from lurking*
good idea. they’re probably waiting all day on a comment log to talk with little old you. get a life, retard!!!
‘ta…
*back to lurking*
The Nazi’s bring out the worst in people. What next, round up all the online jews by email and sent them to the great recycle/trash bin on the WWW??? Calm down, children.
โGreat name. Your finger get stuck on that key after the booger on it hardened? LOLโ
He’s obviously with the Better Business Bureau you moron…
Oooh, an internet bully making empty threats. UNIQUE.
And clearly they had a copy of a Nazi Propoganda poster around in the first place.
Well, it’s not so hard to find something like this, is it? The timothyhodge must have found it somewhere too.
Alas there is the real question. Who is this timothyhodge and why has he had so much time to study both pictures long enough to notice a resemblance? Ohhhhhh. Spooooky.
How do you look at that crap and decide someone from Texas made that poster? Even if the “Meat Council” is from Texas, you know they don’t sit around creating their own posters. Some dang advertising agency from NYC of L.A. probably did that. Plus, you can’t lump everyone from Texas into one category like that.
Did they *say* the Meat Council poster was traced- I mean, made- in Texas? No, they said “GOP Texan *type*”. You are right, it’s not okay to make generalizations like that. But understand that Texas has a bit of a reputation. Proudly a red state (ran all the Democrat representatives out of its borders), keeps threatening secession from the rest of the U.S., etc. etc.
In any event, generalizations happen… sort of like saying everyone who doesn’t hate on Obama is a gol-durn SOCIALIST! Thank ghod nobody’s been doing *that* for the last 90-odd days or so…
/sarcasm
ACTUALLY, you f%$#ing MORON, NAZIs were SOCIALISTS, just like BARAK OBAMA, the Russians under Stalin and still today are SOCIALISTS, just like BARAK OBAMA the list is endless. Communism has killed wayyyy more people than Hitler ever did and you, like ALL liberal pukes don’t have a God damn clue what you’re talking about.
If you’d like an example of “intolerance”, why don’t you go listen to that left wing douche bag Janeane Garofalo, or how about Obama’s good buddy Bill Ayers?
Heh
lol I love how you’re preaching about intolerance while clearly being unable to tolerate Obama.
Obama rocks! Hell yeah!
wow, I am happy the universe didnt collapse on this one, because that comment was so contradictory in itself it should have formed a giant black hole.
I like your comment best.
lol&rofl, great. I’m from Germany, and for us it’s allways fun to hear some americans call Obama a “socialist”. In Germany, he would be pretty well on the right wing…
And, btw, you are right about communism killing more people than Hitler, but you are wrong when you call him a “socialist”, too. He was a “national socialist”, which is, actually, a form of FASHISM.
You know what they say…’if you’re not the fascist, you’re the slowest!
*snrk!*
ha! thanks for that one, fly
ha! thanks for that one, hell
(did i do that twice? the demons of the interweb, they possess my keyboard from time to time)
wtf? i got a heart shaped monster for this forum? egads, anyone know how i set my pic up to be something aside from the random things?
try gravitar.com
Same in Canada. I live in Texas right now but I think the same thing about Obama being a *gasp* Socialist. And nice call on the National Socialist Workers Party.
Oh yeah, money to the poor, its just like rounding up jews and killing em!
LOL!
awesome…
You’re the moron. Nazi’s weren’t socialist. Fascism is different. One clear ruler, so everyone isn’t equal. And you’re the intolerant one.
Ummm…you’re actually very wrong. The NAZI party, though the translation was “National Socialist” were far from socialist or communist. They were EXTREME capitalists as the entire fascist mentailty is based on the idea that everyone is NOT equal, completely the opposite of the socialist/communist mentality. Also, one of the largest reasons the Nazis were able to take power was a reaction to the fear of communism.
fashist with fear of communism… good there is no such thing in USA!
Bobo, please read and understand history.
The national socialist policies were in fact traditionally socialist. They believed in and enforced a strong state with environmental and animal protection laws. They outlawed weapons and believed in workers’ rights.
Your claim that they were “EXTREME capitalists” have no historic accuracy.
Actually its people like you make it impossible to learn. For every step forward that good intention makes, ignorance and intolerance take 5 steps backward, and history repeats itself. Why do you think the U.S. government get on their high horse everytime a new or different idea shows itself?
National Socialism (Nazi) is a far-right political philosophy. Socialism is far left. See also: Fascism vs Socialism. Also, of note, Socialism and Communism are not the same thing. One’s a political system, the other is an economic system.
Just because they use the word in the party-name doesn’t mean that it follows that political belief. Just look at the “Republicans” and the “Demoncrats”.
Correct, communism and socialism is different ideologies and national socialism was regular socialism with an extreme nationalistic slant.
They were as left wing as any other socialist party.
Heinz, you really need to study politics and History better…if you can actually pull your head out of the clouds to read.
There is nothing Socialist about National Socialism. The name was used to CO-OPT the language of the workers. Hitler and the Nazis did manage to bamboozle a few workers into joining–they were called Brownshirts. They were then used to attack other workers and break the unions who were targetted even before the Jews.
They did the dirty work and when they went looking for their reward they were themselves suppressed.
Hitler supported and was supported by the Capitalist class. Even Mussolini spelled it out: The Corporate State is Fascism–look it up.
American Capitalists like Ford, Hearst, Walt Disney etc. loved Hitler for smashing unions and murdering Socialists and Grandpappy Bush was Hitler’s Banker. Okay mini-History lesson over, now go and read something that isn’t written by Glen Beck, Bill O’ Reilly or Charles Krauthammer.
Well… You people are a great example, why the world hates USA.
Gz!
That’s funny Burger, I thought the world hates the USA because of all the countries we’ve invaded, occupied, terrorized, installed Dictators and murderous regimes in, and economically destabilized in the USAs brief Imperialist history. Not to mention actually CREATING Al Quaeda as the CIAs personal Islamic Terror hit squad to go after the Soviets during THEIR failed occupation of Afghanistan.
You must have me confused with Kissinger/Nixon/Cheney/Reagan/Bush1&2/Rumsfeld etc. etc.
Well GB, that’s just the entree. We (the rest of the world) have a whole banquet of reasons to hate the USA.. don’t get us started or we’ll gorge all evening.
Let’s see… all of what you said plus a total ignorance that the rest of the world exists, let alone being able to find it on a map… um… on second thought, I’ll just retreat back to my quiet corner of the world now and smirk.
Well Zeli, you won’t get much argument from me. I’m a Brit (transplanted as a seedling) and I actually read and understand History unlike the jerk I originally responded to. And oh, I really dislike Fascists in any country.
you forgot impregnating their women too
Just bcause they called themselves socialistsdoesn’t mean, they were.
You sir are the idiot, you claim others to be.
Hating, intolerant and dumb as a door knob.
Please go and do something about the spreading of your genes … a shooting spree, starting in your own family sounds good … yes it does.
So, you will be refusing your Social Security payments because that is a socialist program…. right? I mean, you better put your “money” where your mouth is!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
In a few years there won’t be any social security! I suggest we all retire now, and when the Govt. goes bankrupt we can all go back to work…
Gandalf’s Beard – sorry, but you’re wrong. The “America’s Meat Roundup” poster was part of a 1988 ad campaign by the American Meat Council. The campaign was abandoned when it was discovered that the Nazi poster had been used as the template for the meat poster.
Perhaps JeffK627, but I don’t think so. The American meat industry is represented by The American Meat INSTITUTE, The American Meat Packers Association was it’s original name.
There is also the American Meat Science Association, The CANADIAN Meat Council, The North American Meat Processers Association……. and numerous smaller USA meat industry associations representing Lamb, Pork, Beef etc.–note NONE of them are called the American Meat Council. But the Associations I mentioned all have their own websites.
If you google American Meat Council you will find only this Lookalike Page. All the other hits lead to the REAL associations I described above.
Okay, after searching I finally found one reference to the case at Justia.com to FLEMING Companies vs an unnamed litigant dated Dec 7 1988.
Apparently the litigant was Jewish and found the poster offensive (as well he should). Apparently the lawsuit was dismissed, appealed, and the appeal was denied on the above date. It was unclear based on the notes when the actual ad campaign was run–but it is clear that The American Meat Council part of the poster is a fraud concocted by the advertiser commissioned by Fleming Companies.
you don’t mess around with your research, Gandalf. way to live up to the name
**thumbs up**
No the nazis really hated the communists. In fact, they used fear mongering against communists in order to gain power initially in the population.
(iiiiiiroonyyyy……)
Study some history, and please try breathing through your nose for a change… During their ascent to power, the Nazi party rounded up and imprisoned or killed off the genuinely Socialist members of the party during a week long period known as the “Night of the Long Knives” wherein the members of the left-leaning SA faction of the party fell victim to the SS. After this it was all chest-beating right-wing nationalism and calls for a return to “Traditional German Values” like blaming their losses in WWI on the “Leftists, Jews, Communists and Intellectuals” instead of the over-aggressive regime in Berlin that dragged everyone into the mess in the first place…wait…that all sounds kind of familiar
Gee that does sound….familiar.
While I agree with most of your comment Russia is not socialist at all and has not been for quite a while.
Actually Nazi’s were facists, not socialists, they just used the socialist name in their party slogan/name to attract some members. Nazi’s threw millions of people into deathcamps and the first ones besides the Jews were socialists and communists. And to say that Obama is ANYTHING like the Nazi’s is simply not true, the Nazi party would have thrown him in as well because one he’s not white, and they were the most extreme racist regime, 2nd he’s a democratic leader, what I mean by this is he supports democracy and they CERTAINLY do not, they did everything in their power to destroy it.
So please do some research before you rant.
Thank you
Ya, but Janeane Garofalo is freaking hot.
Wow. Intolerant much? Wait, hang on, the phone is ringing… Oh, are you Kettle? Because there’s someone called Pot on the phone, says something about you being black?
Actually, they were fascists, not socialists. People who think Nazis are socialists are invariably more like fascists than socialists.
They called themselves socialists, just like the Australian Liberal Party is actually the conservative party. They were not, in any way, socialists, just like Australian Liberals are not liberals (at least, not in the American sense – one could argue absolutely as well).
Fascists are people like the Republican party – basically, you have the government and business in close cahoots. Fascism simply formalizes it. They also heavily exploit religion for their own political purposes, and engender hatred towards “outsiders” (Republicans hate gays, minorities, and immigrants; Nazis hate gays, minorities, and immigrants – little difference there, Nazis just cast the net a bit wider on who to hate) to deflect hatred from themselves. Socialists, like the socialist party of the United States, are much, much less closely related to Nazis than Republicans are, ideologically speaking.
I think that is just a ridiculous generalization all around. You can’t put “beef pundits,” Texans or “Red Neck F*cks” in your little box, so you would probably be happier if you stopped trying. Your explanation makes no sense. It’s probably just a sick joke at best.
Think hard… the meat council guys aren’t the actual illustrator.
Hitler was like the GOP? As I just told someone else on this thread (oops!), Hitler was a tree-hugging, gun-grabbing, vegetarian, big-government, pro-abortion, anti-semitic socialist, who was brought into power by trade unions, attacked Christianity as a distortion of the true Jesus who he said was really just a social reformer, and established the Baath party in Syria and Iraq.
Sorry, the only thing he had in common with the GOP was that he hated the Soviet Union. Other than that, he’d've fit in perfectly with all the leftist university professors across America.
Wow…it”s amazing. I don’t see how you could possibly be any more OPPOSITE to historical fact. 180 degrees opposite.
Really…You should try cracking a history book instead of getting your “history” from Hannity, Beck, O’Reilly etc.
And is it just me or does the guy look a lot like Matt Damon?
I wonder if the illustrator is not meat council friendly and intentionally chose to create an ad that likened the meat council to the nazis?
Nope. It’s clearly the conservative mean Nazi theory from above.
My thoughts exactly – if not to liken them to Nazis, just to dupe and embarass.
Kinda like the guy who shot the Sarah Palin turkey video on YouTube. You know he was a Palin hater. Awesome!
I would like to know the context of the pic on the left. I am assuming beef, but maybe this is a dark commentary on rounding up humans again.
yummy yummmm, soylent green….
See! The hat, the pants and the flag make all the difference! I think…
It almost looks as if the Nazi youth douchebag managed to flee to the US after the war, and got a coushy job at the Meat Council. Somebody warn Mossad!!
All jokes aside, it’s undeniable that the Nazis and all despotic regimes are aware of the power of strong graphics and semiotics. Think of any modern tyrant you can think of (Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong Il) and they have always relied of effective illustration posters. Arts, like science, can also be use for evil.
“Vat do you mean I look like ze Nazi from propaganda?? I have never being in Germany! I never know of var in Germany! I am American cowboy! You see my gut tan, ja? Eaten ze meaten!!”
rofl.
Win.
you must be related to ‘adlof hilter’ from Monty Python
Know where I can hire bombers by the hour?
LOL. “Ja, sauerkraut is ze best dressing for a shteak!”
OMFG, you rule!
I agree r.p.junkie. It’s always caused me serious conflict that although I find the nazi philosophy abhorrent, I’ve always secretly admired their design style. Damn, they looked so good in their snappy uniforms (those jackboots… drool), with that crisp red and black stylistic bauhaus thing going on.
Unfortunately, they ruined that whole look for the rest of us; they took something cutting edge and groovy and gave it a completely evil connotation. Now, you can only use that feel in an ironic sense (unless you’re being pathetically neo-nazi).
Unless you’re the Meat Council of the USA, it seems.
I’ve only just realised that the little skulls on their hats meant they were the bad guys!
its a darn shame, they look so funkay.
“…In February 1988, Fleming Companies, a food wholesaler based in Oklahoma City, distributed a poster depicting a ruddy-looking blond cowboy to its stores. With the caption, โAmericaโs Meat Roundup,โ the poster was the lead edge of companyโs attempt to market meat-eating as a patriotic pastime.
The graphic was put together by an outside agency, and all went well for a few months, until, out in New Jersey, a college student thought that the image looked strangely familiar.
When the company got wind of the rumor that their meat roundup poster was lifted, down to the pixel, from a Hitler Youth poster out of the Nazi Third Reich, the first thing the executives did was say that the image had come from a live model. So, someone floated over the original image. As you might imagine, from comparing the two paintings, here, the jig was immediately up. Fleming offered a maroon-faced apology, destroyed all the images, fired the ad agency, and made other efforts to repair the damage from this grotesque incident.”
So it totally looks like this post isn’t any more original than the Meat Council ad.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
I would have definitely sued for defamation of character. This seems like an obvious attack against meat by whomever worked at the ad agency.
The last thing any company needs is a direct link to genocide.
Because raising and killing animals for food isn’t akin to genocide at all…nope…
You know something? When cows develop opposable thumbs and the ability to inform me that they would really rather not be eaten, thankyouverymuch, then I’ll think about not eating meat. We have incisors so we can bite into vegetables, and we have cuspids so we can tear meat; we are omnivorous. That means we’re actually supposed to be eating meat with our vegetables.
I would also like to note that genocide is “the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.” Now, I know you didn’t say that raising and killing animals for food IS genocide, but AKIN TO genocide. Tell me where in the definition of genocide is the indication that actually raising animals in order to eat them (and not just to kill them for fun and profit) is remotely akin to genocide.
OOooooohhh, does varuna need some ice, for that EPIC BURN?!
You said it yourself, “Maybe those vegetarians have a valid pointโฆโฆ”
I meant not being Nazi sympathizers. You know, like a giant conspiracy theory.
The whole herbivore/omnivore/carnivore teeth business is still under much debate; let’s not get into that. That’s just like believing unconditionally every theory you’ve read about or were taught (i.e. the Bible, tectonic plates, FSM).
I fully understand and appreciate the fact that we humans wouldn’t be here if we never hunted for our food when times were tough. I also understand that though I am fully capable of eating meat, as are all of us humans, it is not NECESSARY for many people in developed countries (and I know it is just not -possible- for several billion of us due to money, health conditions, climate, etc.) on this planet to contribute to such a torturous and ruthless display of speciesism. If you believe that you just wouldn’t survive (unless you are in one of the above mentioned circumstances) without eating meat and dairy, then you need a violent reality check. You are a bigoted and severely undereducated person, and for that, I apologize. Not only is it outright torture of billions of animals a year, but it is literally the worst thing you can contribute to in an environmentally disastrous context. Look it up.
If you can’t see the similarity between killing indiscriminate numbers of humans (because they are different!) with killing indiscriminate numbers of animals (because they are “inferior beings”)…then I’m not sure you passed your SAT’s.
Do you know what’s funny as hell?
A vegan animal rights activist who’s pro-abortion.
Not saying you are one, just saying that the irony is always funny.
Know what’s FUNNIER…A**hole Fascist pro-”lifers” who don’t give a crap about fetuses after they are born, then support the Death Penalty, then sending teenagers to be killed in Imperialist Wars of Aquisition while murdering millions of other people for their oil, resources and labour.
ahem, the politically correct term is “conservative”.
abortion vs. death penalty… hm… I prefer to kill life forms only after they’ve actually done harm.
“Imperialist”: the go-to word of the drooling imbecile.
Spoken like a true brainwashed Imperialist Dupe. Get a dictionary.
Also, I prefer being able to choose whether or not a parasitic Life Form grows inside me.
This is just my personal opinion, but I belive you do have a choice. It’s called abstinence. If you don’t want a baby, don’t partake in the act that makes them. The whole, basic, primitive purpose of the deed is to make these “Parasitic Life Forms”. Yeah, it’s difficult thing to do, but I feel it’s better than raising a screaming brat you didn’t want (Or getting communal diseases, for that).
I think it’s a bit like cutting back on fat-laden unhealthy food and getting enough exercise so you can be fit and healthy. You could call it an anti-baby diet, if you wish.
And yes, I do practice what I preach.
Spoken like a Zombie Running-Dog lackey.
Also, you probably ARE a parasitic life form. Get a job!
Well, I can’t take much offense to the zombie part, seeing as it didn’t make much sense. (It was creative tough, I’ll give you that.)
Also, what does my having a job have to do with abstinence? I see no connection, whatsoever.
What?……In this economy? Who F***ed that up? Oh right…..it was CAPITALISTS feeding on themselves and everyone else–i.e. PARASITES.
@ Slaggingham
I’m pro-choice, but offspring are not parasites. You don’t have to distort biology to make a point that was already made and codified into law.
Ever since I saw the movie Alien I have had total respect for the position of choice
.
Sure, I may be overstating my case, but it is necessary to get the point across. In a sense, even though a fetus is an offspring, for approximately 9 months it is parasitic in nature. Now that’s not necessarily a bad thing–it just describes how a mammalian fetus survives until it is brought to term.
Personally, I think everyone should have a choice about whether or not to allow another life form to inhabit one’s body.
I agree in principle with you Varuna, and I certainly support PETAs goals to reduce cruelty to animals.
Unfortunately I am addicted to meat… LOL. I love Bacon and Steak. I try to at least buy free range meats. Though I would probably be a near vegetarian if I actually had to kill my own meat, because I am a wuss.
Is it okay to kill kangaroo joeys before they develop in the pouch?
I mean, they aren’t really “developed” yet, so would it be bad if somebody reached in there, grabbed one, and killed it?
And if not… at what point did developing marsupials surpass developing sentients on the sliding scale of morality?
depends… how does kangaroo taste?
on second thought, there’s not enough meat on a joey to put forth the effort.
Looks like someone being lazy who thought they wouldn’t get caught.
your right, it’s more akin to slavery.
mmm, delicious slaves!
’sides, if ghod wanted us to be vegetarians, he wouldn’t have made cows out of steak!
We are omnivores but that doesn’t mean we are SUPPOSED to eat meat, we are ABLE to eat meat. And babies can’t talk, can we exploit them? It is obvious that cows feel pain, feel love, and have interest in self preservation, just because they can’t spell it out for us doesn’t mean we have the right to bring them into this world and destroy them just because we like cheeseburgers.
While it is not genocide but the intentional overbreeding of species that we have deemed lower than ourselves and those we call “pets” and enslaving and ultimately slaughtering them isn’t genocide, it is still pretty damn horrific.
I’m sick of the argument that the killing /eating of animals is akin to genocide. First off the statement that killing animals is wrong is silly, if I had to chose starvation vs eating an animal guess what? I’ll chose eating tyvm. Next remember that carrot was doing great folks till you pulled it out of the ground.
Just my two cents worth in support of O-rnge
Yeah but you’re not in danger of starvation, I can tell if you own a computer chances are you have food in the fridge. Most of us don’t live in survival situations where its a do or die, a lot of us can go vegan but just won’t.
And a carrot is non-sentient and has no nervous system. And also something like half the corn grown in America goes to feed livestock, so going vegan saves animal life AND plant life. I’m sick of that argument also
Don’t forget ethanol. -_-
What a waste of delicious corm!!
Camero, do you have a source for your quote. I am interested in researching this further. Below is a quote from one of my other comments including the only reference I could find.
“Okay, after searching I finally found one reference to the case at Justia.com to FLEMING Companies vs an unnamed litigant dated Dec 7 1988.
Apparently the litigant was Jewish and found the poster offensive (as well he should). Apparently the lawsuit was dismissed, appealed, and the appeal was denied on the above date. It was unclear based on the notes when the actual ad campaign was runโbut it is clear that The American Meat Council part of the poster is a fraud concocted by the advertiser commissioned by Fleming Companies.”
I do have the source but it won’t let me post the link. It’s from a March 31, 2008 article on harry allen dot info.
Oh, sure, go an inject common sense and logic into the discussion. That won’t get you very far on the internets, you know…
GO VEG!!! xD
GO VEG!!! xD
Because to eat meat is to follow a Nazi ideal, can’t you see??
Veg yourself!
Quite the opposite; Hitler is possibly one of the most famous vegetarians ever…
I’ve been told that Hitler really wasn’t a vegetarian; he just went off meat periodically for health reasons. People like to use his alleged vegetarianism to show that not all vegetarians are fine human beings, as if that wouldn’t be logically apparent anyway.
As a vegan, I find this use of an “evil” poster by the meat council very amusing, indeed.
Me too!
Still want a steak though.
I’m a vegan, and I just ate soy cheez that I knew was not 100% vegan. I really wanted pizza, though… O_o
Also, I want to have Perfect Hair Forever.
So you claim to believe so strongly in these ideals… genocide of the animals and all that.. yet you toss them off casually because you “really wanted pizza”.
Hypocrite, much?
The way I see it, the “carbon footprint” or whatever is nowhere near as great as eating dairy cheese. There was a milk derivative in it. It happens on accident (so as not to be rude to the maker of the foodz, or someone tells me it’s vegan and then it has dairy or something in it), in the 3 years I’ve been vegan. So what? You wanna fight about it?
Then you are not a vegan, sorry. A vegan does NOT use animal products at all. That includes soy cheese with casein.
Sorry, but whats the difference between “I really wanted pizza” and “I really wanted a steak”? Especially when vegan pizza is pretty delicious? A dairy cow and her babies go through just as much if not more suffering than a beef cow.
Some people can’t afford fully vegan soy cheez. Besides, I was told it actually WAS vegan, and then after I found out that it had casein.
You said you intentionally ate it, not accidentally, you knew and just really wanted the pizza, there’s a difference. I actually don’t have access to vegan cheese either, ever thing of *gasp* having a CHEESELESS pizza?
Accidentally on purpose?
At least they’re MOSTLY vegan…yes? Doesn’t every bit make a difference? Some of you vegans are just so cynical.
No, she said “I just ate soy cheese that I knew wasn’t 100% vegan”, as in, as eating, she was aware that it was not vegan. Yeah you can accidentally eat something thats not vegan and still be vegan, it happens. But to intentionally eat an animal product is not vegan, simply put.
What if someone made a vegan something that had non-vegan soy cheese on it, and they ate it, knowing it wasn’t vegan, but didn’t want to upset or offend the person that made it? Maybe that’s what happened. You’re one of -those- vegans.
Why would they do that when the person should have known? Shouldn’t the vegan be offended or upset? I don’t eat steak if someone says “I made it for you!” Its silly to compromise one’s morals just for the sake of being “offensive”, does a strict Christian sleep with their partner before marriage because they don’t want to offend or upset them?
Actually, someone made it for me. Mostly everyone there (servers and cooks alike) thinks that our soy cheez is actually vegan (only 2 vegans actually work there), and also the pesto…which, I’ve eaten both on several occasions. Twice because people initially told me they were vegan, and twice because it was already made for me and I would rather eat something than let it go to waste. I AM vegan, and I am proud. And guess what?? I use local HONEY!!!!! O NOES!!!1! And I WILL eat something (with egg, seafood, or small amounts of dairy) if it would otherwise go in the garbage. So f***ing what??
Then you aren’t a vegan at all. If you will eat something thats going in the trash that is obviously an animal, I would guess that would make you a freegan. A vegan is someone who does not eat animal products, at all, and while mistakes are forgivable there are no other exceptions. Why would you want to have the label of “vegan” when it doesn’t apply to you? You aren’t even vegetarian if you eat sea animals, you’re a pescetarian.
Yeah, apparently it was a PR campaign that Hitler was a vegetarian, he did avoid meat because of his bowels but he didn’t swear it off exclusively, apparently he would say sausage was his favourite food.
*homosexual sausage-in-mouth joke*
More importantly, who wears a tie AND chaps?
Texas businessmen. It’s the height of fashion.
Seriously, I’ve seen this firsthand. It’s sad.
It mixes well when others combine office shirts with polo shorts.
I don’t care giving up cheeseburgers is not an option.
i think it’s funny the nazi sign’s caption is “DER DOUCHE STUDENT”
hahahaha….
Are you not aware that Germany calls itself “Doucheland”?
Actually, it’s “Deutschland”.
Actually, you’re a douche.
actually, i think he’s deutsch
Maybe both, but definitely at least douche.
It says:
“Der deutsche Student kรคmpft fรผr Fรผhrer und Volk”
which means:
“The German Student fichts for Fรผhrer and People”
good one, dude. i lol’d.
Doesn’t it say “The German Student SUFFERS for Father (Hitler) and People”?
kamph = struggle
well … the first translation is not allways the best.
kรคmpfen = fight
“the german student”
“fights for fรผhrer and people”
it was a propaganda image, designed for university- and schoolyards.
kรคmpft is more like “struggle”. So it could be in the sense of “I struggled with depression”, where you could interpret that as “suffering” or as “fought with”.
The is nothing about “suffering” in “kรคmpfen”, it is “to fight” and nothing more, esspecially in this context: the Nazis wanted the German Students not tu suffer, but to fight in their “Total War” against the enemeys.
PS: and they wanted them to win, in the end.
Maybe those vegetarians have a valid point……
What era is that meat poster from? It’s obviously the same drawing.
Photoshoped
*Photoshopped
PHOTO SHOP
*PHOTOSHOP
Did anyone think that perhaps the meat poster came first? It would be more effective to steal a good pure American image and use it for your own cause than it would be to steal a hated image and try to put it on your product, expecting nobody to care or ever notice.
I know Camero’s got a fairly detailed report of what happened, and I’m not saying it’s wrong or right. Just that sometimes the popular story is an urban legend.
If I were printing Nazi propaganda posters, I’d definitely undermine the most American thing I could find.
I was going to post the EXACT same thing. Chicken or the egg, anyone?
it was made in 1988 (the meat poster) and if you know your history, then you know WWII was from 1938-1945
…& if you knew your Hellboy, you’d know that Hitler died in 1958
Wait, can you go over those dates for me again? I got lost somewhere in your self righteous tone. You know, the one that started right when you said 1988, supplying data that isn’t part of the original information set. But, on the up side, at least it’s a completely arbitrary year with no source cited.
In that case, that Nazi propaganda poster was created in 1993 by a high school student in Moscow, Idaho as an art project involving the recycling of stock images to sell completely conflicting products or ideas …
Sounds believable, doesn’t it?
and if YOU would bother to read the previous posts before you open your pie-hole, you’d see the above reference to the actual incident in question, complete with company names and dates. Google it, douchebag.
FTW
nazi propoganda artwork might be public domain, so available for deriving other art from. like stock photos or something. maybe?
mmm why use Michelangelo when you can use nazi propaganda which will ultimately come back and bite your white arse?
Considerable lack of foresight involved…
bahahahha
It’s a conspiracy
Woops. I forgot the exclamation points. The idea was somithing like:
IT’S A CONSPIRACY!!!!!
its cus its fake… wake up people
wow this is scary but i’m not at all surprised to see nazi propaganda americanized into a meat counsil poster.
Nazi america’s meat round-up…I smell another holocaust
Well, sadly for all the discussions here, it’s obvious that the artists used the same model photograph.
SIEG HEIL …. HEIL HITLER !!!
Why would one need to be a copy of the other at all? Maybe they both copied a previous image, one which would not cause any controversy at all if the link was made.
That’s what I’m thinking. In fact, I think it’s in a book by Jack Hamm, actually. Old art book that had been re-published likely.
Wow… for a 21 year-old story, this sure has legs on it.
Is this some kind of PETA photoshop job?
*takes a VERY deep breath*
I am not 100% positive, but Yes, I do think this was a Peta Parody Poster. I think I remember seeing this exact same matchup in some Anarchist magazine a decade or so ago.
Okay after some research, It seems this was actually a real poster commissioned by the Fleming meat company and based on the Nazi propaganda poster. See other posts on the subject.
I found some verification at Justia.com (a website that compiles and links to US Judicial decisions).
kind of offtopic, but yesterday an american girl tried to make me believe that dutch and german were one and the same language. when i told her this was bs, she said she proved me wrong since it was stated like this in her dictionary and also told me that she was german. actually i am german and asked her: okay, dann sag doch mal was auf deutsch, wenn du so klug bist und alles weiรt. but she didnt answer. i know germany and the netherlands are two different countries with different languages. i just wondered how often people want to discuss matters when they really dont have the slightest clues and just want to make other people feel inferior and even lie to achive that goal. kind of reminded me when reading the discussion here.
Maybe it could be something close (like Spanish and Portuguese), but I think its safe to say that you were dealing with a blonde
Um, Spanish and Portuguese are only alike in that they originate like right next door to each other. Otherwise, they really aren’t. Spanish and Italian are an awful lot alike, though.
Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian are all part of the same Indo-European language subgroup. They are all Romance (Roman) languages based on Vulgar Latin. French has some Germanic influences, some dialects of Spanish and Portuguese are very influenced by Moorish (Arabic) as the Iberian Peninsula was occupied by Moors for hundreds of years.
Well, Dutch, German, Scandinavian, and English languages are all part of the same Germanic language group.
But the American Girl you quoted is clearly a moron who doesn’t know the difference between a language and a language group.
Which still totally proves your point Cait.
People discuss matters when they have no clue all the time. Just look at the comments on this post. Look at comments on any popular blog. Look at the comments on YouTube. Hang around in a cafe for a while and eavesdrop on conversations. People constantly yap on and on about things they know nothing about and, yes, some of them will resort to lying, plagiarism, intellectual bullying, urban legend, and all sorts of other tactics to try to prove their point. Some people just have to be “right” no matter how wrong they are, and some people are genuinely and absolutely CLUELESS.

It’s interesting how the hateful intolerant person hates others for being hateful and intolerant. These things generally happen when they are based on lies.
The majority of online posting americans, as can be seen in this and many other threads, are a bunch of nationalistic dumbasses.
You may not have death camps, but that’s the only thing that sets you apart from the Nazi germans.
The rest is all there.
Rasicm, bigotery, idiocy.
You should clean your own yard, before you try to clean someone elses.
Unfortunately Hitler got the idea for concentration camps from Native American Indian Reservations. He thought it was a swell idea to force all the people he didn’t like into small patches of land, starve them, and murder them.
Don’t forget the American Internment camps for Japanese in WW2. And after 911 the illegal and fascistic round-up and imprisonment of Muslim Men, Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and the many other “internment camps” for people with no rights.
If it weren’t for Obama putting on the brakes, this country was just one step away from being the 4th Reich. Obama may be a centrist but that’s a damn sight better than the Hillbilly Theocratic Fascist Goose-steppers taking over. With a little luck and a lot of political pressure maybe we can push Obama to do a thorough House-cleaning as you suggest.
“Unfortunately Hitler got the idea for concentration camps from Native American Indian Reservations.”
And the term “concentration camp” comes from the time of Second Boer War.
I can smell your hypocrisy from here. Stop YOUR generalizations before telling others to stop theirs.
Hitler and Goebbels need to sue the Meat Council for copyright infringement!
I mean seriously… This could become a really embarassing situation for the Nazis! This could cause recruitment of militant vegans to drop and threaten their lucrative PETA affiliations.
Not all vegans support PETA, me being one of them.
hahahahaha omg!!!
It also looks like a certain type of men’s club invite
It’s the chaps that do it.
A Nazi regime campaigne poster is a really crappy thing to photoshop into anything you would hope to get good response from. Makes you wonder if they even knew what they were mirroring. Images.Google.Com strikes again.
Dear lawd tell me this is ’shopped.
Oi.
xD
its the same damn picture. WTF.
So tour slogan during WWII was “Beating Meat Will Win the War?”
oopsie.

If You Have Red All The Comments This Far Than You Need To Step Away From The Computer…
I have, and my eyes hurt.(mostly from laughing at how many people think their opinion matters)
And now your opinion does too dork. That’s why you (and all the rest of us) bother reading them all.
I have no opinion…
In your opinion….*snicker*
Seriously though. If you didn’t care about opinions (yours or others) you wouldn’t bother lurking or posting.
I find other peoples opinions entertaining and revealing…apparently you do too
You are right, its interesting to see how other’s opinions compare to mine. I just think the child like bickering over the differences in opinions is detering from the true comedy of this site. I guess this is a better place for it than meeting face to face and erupting into violence, but I come here to read some of the clever wit and get a laugh…
Sometimes the childlike bickering is even funnier than the lookalikes. And it’s possible a few people might even learn to do research after getting their asses handed to them.
I agree, this is better than brawling.
Yeah, that is pretty scary. The questions are: when was the poster on the left published, and who was the artist?
see above
RE: Gandalf’s Beard
Point in passing, but the British came up with the first concentration camps in the Boer War. May have been inspired by the US reservations I suppose. *retreats back to dissertation*
Yeah, well Sebular, Capitalist Imperialism (i.e. Neo-Feudalism) pretty much always looks the same. Invade other countries, steal their resources and murder their people then round up the dissidents and kill them.
Sounds like Communism in Practice.
You sound like a Practicing Moron.
You sound like someone who’s still bitter that Stalin is dead.
Also, someone who failed his Econ 101 courses.
Guess what…those Econ 101 teachers failed to notice their economic system sucks.
You seem disappointed Hitler is dead. Anyway, Stalin sucked too–I like Democracy, unlike stooges for the Capitalist Ruling Classes.
That can’t have been a coincidence – hahaha.
Well…If it worked for the Nazis…
195th! I’m so cool!
LOVES IT!
GO VEGETARIAN!
I like my meat gas-chambered.
Nothing really bad about copying a Nazi Party propaganda flag. Everyone thinks of Hitler’s Nazis when in fact the party was around long before the rise of Hitler. The swastika was around long before Hilter too. Who can accurately date this poster?
Oh and before you call me racist/anti-semitic — I’m half black so shut it!
Actually No. The German Workers Party (Deutsche Arbeitspartie or DAP) was founded in 1918. Hitler joined sometime around 1920 when it only had 54 members (he was the 55th). Rudolf Jung and Hitler renamed the party National Socialist German Workers Party (NAZI Party). Hitler became Chairman of the party in 1921.
The Swastika was an ancient symbol it is true–but in most Asian cultures was a symbol of peace. The Nazi’s perverted it and used as a symbol of their supposed ARYAN RACIAL SUPERIORITY, so you might want to reconsider your comment.
As to the actual date of the original poster, I am still researching that, but it is irrelevant as it clearly has the term Fuhrer (Leader) on it–a term Hitler used to promote himself and his ideology. So the poster is obviously from the Hitlerian Era.
this is so photoshopped
Do you think they had photoshop in the 40’s? Srsly?
Well, yes. The Nazi poster is the original, and widely shown in textbooks dealing with WW2. It looks like whoever was doing the beef poster shopped it from the Nazi poster.
Oh, my bad, I didn’t realize that the “meat round up” was for the beef industry. I thought it might have to do with “Boys Night at the Blue Parrot”
Just for some info. The artist of these two posters is Octavus Roy Cohen, most known for his cover art on the Saturday Evening Post. Freelance artists, expecially in the 40’s and 50’s would abviously use some of the same art and not be too discriminating of who hired them.. just doing their jobs. Just FYI
That doesn’t sound right at all. Octavus Roy Cohen was a JEWISH author who wrote some stories for the Saturday Evening Post. He was also a novelist. He was best known for writing stories about African Americans in the Amos N’ Andy vein (i.e. typical racial stereotypes).
So it is extremely unlikely he could be the artist in question of the original poster. And he died in 1959, long before the second (copied) poster was made (late 1980s possibly 1988).
That’s gotta be either FAKE or intentional.
Woah… that’s uncanny .____.
Come on kiddies be a smartie, lets all join the nazi party!
WTF its the same guy only the colours are different
So.. um.. I guess the bulk of you didn’t know then, huh?
The Germans and the Americans were best of friends up until the later part of the war. Hitler used to come to the states often during the 1930s. Nazi ‘ethnic cleansing’ was based on AMERICAN eugenics.
See: Tomorrow’s Children (1934)
So when I see an american and a nazi poster that bear creepy similarities I say: BIG SURPRISE!!
Tell ya what do some web searches and decide for yourself. Look for ties between the Bush Family and Nazis – or America and Nazis. There’s a lot of video, audio and text on it.
But back to the photo, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same guy who drew it for both groups.
or…as one venerable right wing radio commentator used to put it in his ads: “America needs YOU to eat more meat.” (true)..Paul Harvey’s show long ago.
AAAHHHH Its the same pic but photoshoped
I’m vegan!
OK, why is National Socialism (Nazi) and Fascism on the far right, if Socialism and Communism are on the far left? Think about it. Don’t they all have very much in common? Nazism was all about 100% Government control over everything, and they sent millions to work camps and death camps. Wasn’t Stalin’s/Krushchev’s regime very similar (killing millions of Ukrainians and others); and what about Mao Zedong’s regime (total govt. control and slaughter of MILLIONS in China)? I have yet to hear anyone give me a valid reason why Nazism is on the far right of the political spectrum. The far right really is 0% government (total anarchy) and the far left is 100% Govt. (Communism and Fascism).
Or it’s a circle – go too far to the left or the right, you wind up in the same place.
Yes, they are the same thing except for maybe some of the style of the rhetoric. A lot of people apparently slept through government and history class.
You are all confusing political ideologies with political strategies.
One can be a Democratic OR an Authoritarian Socialist. Likewise one can be a Democratic OR an Authoritarian Capitalist. Fascist = Authoritarian Capitalism–though some (including myself) can make the case that in Capitalist countries democracy works mostly for the rich at everyone else’s expense.
After WWII the meat campaign used some of the Nazi party propaganda and was severely reprimanded by the government and the add was pulled. This is meat poster is part of that.
how do you knok that?
is there any article about it on the internet?
perhaps ironically, the nazi’s campaigned for animal rights.
Wow, good job. That totally looks like.
“After WWII the meat campaign used some of the Nazi party propaganda and was severely reprimanded by the government and the add was pulled. This is meat poster is part of that.”
There was Nazi party propaganda that the US government used during WWII just changing words and flags, I went to a art show about in in Washington DC a few years ago.
you people actually sit around and read all these coments…..wow
Peta Photoshop job
Why doesn’t it seem odd to me? USA looking too much like Nazi Germany? think I’ve seen this elsewhere…
Oh yes, world domination, murder, bombings…
Yep cause american rounded up a race of people and tried to exterminate them, your completely right. Totaly the same. Your one of those people who say 9/11 was an “inside job” too right? do us a favor and jump of a cliff. thank you
Yep cause american rounded up a race of people and tried to exterminate them, your completely right.
*coughnativeamericanscough*
Notice, The Jews are still around too.
Obvious 1940’s photoshop is obvious
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this; America and Nazi Germany represent two totally different ideologies and simply because the posters are effectively the same does not mean the message contained within is the same. This is just as the Nazis co-opted the swastika and other runic imagery.
The cowboy promotes the ideal of the individual and his liberties, his freedom in the “Wild West.” Does the German poster represent freedom in any way, shape or form? Absolutely not. This isn’t “eerie,” it was a few lame kids not doing their homework and slacking off, copying what is the same design for this poster.
If we are going to discuss how “eerie” things like this are, does anyone find the U.S. Capitol “eerie” in how it is similar to imperial Roman construction? Yet amazingly, this republic has yet to see its first emperors. In short, this is being blown way out of proportion.
At Der Fuhrerburger youuu vill get it owa vey ven ve SAY SO!
Wow …. thats ….. thats creepy …
so what
photoshopped am i right?
you are wrong.
it’s like Disney reusing their animations for different movies, they didnt want to put in the effort to actually make a new poster. Big whoop – how would anyone in 1950-60s america have known that it was a fascist poster, anyway? we all only find out now, 40 years later.
PETA will just LOVE this
it is a proof, that USA do not have anything original – everything was made by non-USA people, or just stolen.
No need to devise something – you’re, cattle, will swallow this.
I cant belive how ignorant some people are. You can honestly say no one in the USA has created anything original?
