Hooper_X      A capitalist will sell you the rope to hang him with. A communist would never do this, because he clearly doesn't know the first fucking thing about marketing.

cognitivedissonance      Not so much advertisement as vicious taunt. "THESE PRODUCTS EXIST."

Cena_mark      America had superior ads, superior products (really look at that walkman) and superior culture. That's why we won the Cold War.

Hooper_X Man, a walkman with two headphone jacks is a great idea, are you kidding? That's actually really useful for long car rides when you were a kid in the 1980s.

Cena_mark Yes the Walkman was Japanese, but under an American Capitalist system. We nuked them so we wouldn't have to share Japan with Russia, so it was for their own good.
The Chinese are developing so quickly because they have adopted tons of Capitalist measures. They're still statist and authoritarian, but they are practically capitalist now.

AimoKankkunen So THAT was the reason why US nuked Japan.
Im stunned.

RomancingTrain      Maybe we wouldn't have hated them so much if we all used the same alphabet. Those backwards Ns really creep me out.

bavariankumquat      I am incredibly reassured to find out that russian jackets and pants have pockets as well.

Menudo con queso      I found an old SNL tape recently from the Hans und Franz days, and these ads are actually MORE stylish than the Mervyn's ads from the same era.
