I was listened to Destructoid’s Podcastle #2 podcast today, when Jim Sterling randomly started discussing an old Donald Duck cartoon that featured some interesting anti-Nazi propaganda. While I’m not a very big fan of history in general, I do love World War 2 history. I immediately hit Google to find it. Not only did I find that particular cartoon, I found a whole slew of cartoons that I never imagined would have existed. I recommend viewing these cartoons with caution; They CAN potentially offend someone.
Watch these cartoons, and compare it to modern day propaganda, such as when Family Guy makes cracks at Osama Bin Laden. It’s really somewhat interesting to think about. Be sure to leave thoughts and hate mail in the comments!
Lately, a lot of ill press has surrounded the upcoming movie, The Golden Compass. Some Christian groups seem really irritated that the movie comes from a book written by an author who is open about spreading his anti-God stance. While I do consider myself an Independent Christian, I can’t honestly say I support or understand the need to boycott this movie.
Here are two drawings I did for my web comic project in Art Appreciation. I expected for these to be more elaborate, but the lack of time got the best of me.
This is an awesome cover of “Hey There, Delilah” by the Plain White T’s (or something like that. I don’t care for the original song.) Anyone who is familiar with the antics of Jack Thompson, the lawyer from Florida who is probably single-handedly responsible for the success of most Rockstar Games release, will enjoy this video.
Okay. Seriously… It’s not bad if you’re not taking 18+ hours and are teamed up with a competent programmer for a partner.
On the plus side, WVU Tech Comp Sci graduates have to get through this to be allowed to graduate…
No wonder most of us get hired so quickly…
