| Obama mania: Is this 2008 ... or 1984? "reminds me of totalitarian cult" |

Here is the chairman Mao style photo that accompanies the article and contains the poster that is referenced in it.
 -snip- But we ask you, does the campaign poster on this page remind you of a totalitarian cult? Wait, don't answer that. The Soviet-style heroic Obama, the use of a single word "Hope," do make the SEPTA bus shelter posters a bit reminiscent of George Orwell's "1984." Its more direct antecedent is John Carpenter's 1988 paranoid totalitarian fantasy flick, "They Live." Replace the word "Hope" with "Obey" on that Obama poster and tell us what you think. http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/clout/20080404_Clout__Obama_mania__Is_this_2008_____or_1984_.html |
