Better Dead than Red

brianclarke
Dastardly! Underhanded! Adolescent Espionage!

1952, America. The Reds are coming with another sinister plot to undermine Uncle Sam. Only one thing can stop them....a pledge of allegiance!

Better Dead than Red is a short satire aimed at fears that captivated and consumed 1950’s Cold War-era America. Portrayed in the style of a propaganda news reel, subjects such as fear of communism, the “birth” of the pledge of allegiance, and the race for space are explored with sarcastic urgency.

    • Hysterical! BW makes it look really well, especially given the setting. I remember growing up and being told how bad the russians were, now look back and think how ridiculous that was. Now it's Islam. GLed from me. If you have time check out my "Lanterns of Quimbaya."

    • GL, this is HILARIOUS! and so well done, why isn't it on TV? I'm the oldest person on CTV and let's just say, we did duck and cover drills when I when I grew up in Hollywood. This is REALLY REALLY well executed. KEEP PODDING and, if you get a chance, come support my latest Shadow Boxer link Great Job! Getreel

    • Bwahahaha, soon they will all be COMMIES!!! BWAHAHAHAHA. But I digress. Very clever, and sadly fear is still used to promote our own Propaganda. Thanks a lot W. d2thaj2177@hotmail.com. What other projects are you working on, would you be interested in banding together on a future project?
