Such a nice day to not have class. Frolic outside!

On the quiz, I got Alice.
Oddly enough, I never liked Alice. Hmm.

Well, I liked how this chapter started with a statement that the war was manufactured by Disney. That brought about a series of amusing mental images. As well as made the point that the publicity on the war seemed full of grand sayings and images, bright colors, and lack of shading. I could almost picture the war being made into some Disney movie about the journey of a mouse that hid inside a soldier's pocket and George Bush feeding him some cheese. In the touching ending, he would be honored as a hero, getting a medal that was much too big for him. Of course, the whole "bloody, terrible war" thing would be pushed into the background.

The PsyOps campaign, mentioned in Chapter 3, is kind of creepy. Especially the bit about the "all-seeing American eye". It's interesting to realize how prevalent Americans must have been in Iraq to distribute all of this propganda. I can't help but wonder exactly how it got to the people (or how it was allowed to reach the people), and whether or not the Iraqi Government realized what was happening.

Have you ever noticed that the word 'frolic' looks really funny? Hmm.
