Another propaganda piece is an artwork created by Herbert Smagon in 1989 titled “The Fall of the Berlin Wall” and it portrays the drastic difference between West and East Germany. Smagon’s controversial work solidifies the piece as propaganda; His service in World War Two had a huge influence on his art, which revolved around Nazi soldiers and graphic war scenes. The piece shows the oppression those in the communist country endured and how the destruction of the wall will bring them back into the light of freedom.

Imagine not only thinking but unironically painting this piece and thinking it portrayed Western Germany as a good place.

I must ask you to reconsider your stance on gin

Only reason he's correct about gin is that he's clearly never had 99 Bananas.

If you think 99 Bananas is bad, you should try the other 99-branded liquors.

Dionysus asked me the same once. Out of an abundance of piety I agreed. Never again.
