2:15 Don't blink or you'll miss the Chinese Yin & Yang. I usually see it in black and white, but here it's represented in the Chinese Communist colors of red and yellow. Odd choice, I wonder why it's there.

OMG. I just looked up vincent collins on YT and I saw something so VILE and sick I cannot believe that it is on YT. I can't believe that the US Agency of Info would hire this guy to do an animation. What a LOSER.

@djazr Obviously, this was an attempt to use elements of the counterculture to attract youths to the message, like clueless old, starch-white conservatives trying to connect with young voters and/or people of color today by attempting to rap. Except, for this ad, they hired an artist who actually worked in the medium, so it wasn't a ridiculous embarrassment. The majority of 70s kids did not do LSD, but most still liked this style. It was vibrant, fresh and NOT their parents' style.

@Broccoleaf Good, because you seem to think you're the only idiot who cries about people taking everything "out of context" from the shit book koran.

It is you, who are stupid, and too young to understand that regardless of how many towelheads tell me I'm "taking quotes out of context", I've got pages of the hate filled instructions, in black and white.

I also have thousands of videos and pictures of butcherings, stonings, bombings, so much blood spilled Hitler would shudder.

Now go away, idiot.

[Broccoleaf]

@stargroove4 that means absolutely nothing... I'm not even going to bother discussing something which you are clearly too young or too stupid to understand.

@Broccoleaf spoken like a true muslim donkey bitch.

I could find many quotes in both the Bible and the Torah, and indeed any government law-book with rules and laws just as 'extreme' when it comes to war. If you quote out of context like this, you're destroying your own argument with hypocrisy, if you'd read the Qur'an properly, you'd realise how most of the surahs focus on equality, "An arab is no better than a non-arab, a black man is not better than a white man', etc...

If we're just going to throw quotes around like imbeciles...
