The trailer plays upon racial stereotypes, which isn't exactly new territory for Disney. I'm not so sure if that qualifies the trailer as racist, but I am also not sure if it is very productive either.

I honestly don't care if the trailer is racist, I just get the feeling Disney is going to inadvertently offend some people with the stereotypes in the film.

I don't think the original poster is racist.. however I think its stupid, and the graphic alteration of his picture makes no sense.

It's pretty dumb. The author obviously doesn't understand the difference between socialism and anarchy. Propoganda, at the very least, should to accurate to the point you're attempting to convey.

Now if they had spread around posters like these...

Because they look so much like this...

Then it would have been more accurate.

...

What? The Obama campaign made those posters? Really? And the media didn't pick up on it?
Wow.

(and for the record, I don't think the similarity proves anything about his stance on policy, only that his campaign used a LOT of old school propoganda techniques, including Nazi IMO, in their campaign)

Haha just like the media..

"I'm not saying he's hitler, or he's a nazi.. he's just exactly like hitler and nazis... but I'm not saying he is one"

You can't really deny the similarities in the ads, and the ads have nothign to do with his policy. And I even went out of my way to point out this has nothing to do with his policies, just his campaign ads' use of old school propogands techniques, because I knew someone would try and twist it into something it's not.

I think these posters use the same techniques, but I guess I'm accusing Mickey Mouse and Andre the Giant of being just like Hitler and the Nazis...

Thanks for not letting me down, Game. Congratulations... you're typical.

In my opinnion, those posters have no link to each other. Other then you're two Obey ones, since they both say.. Obey... I'm just not a fan of the retarded fantasies that your friend Glen Beck has been spreading.

You can call it being typical all you want, I just call it being sane.
