An Australian student short film produced by David Ashby and Dario Russo (of danger 5 fame). Which was an homage/send up of all those foreign reproductions.
Schools in America fly the American flag and kids have to pledge allegiance to it? Normal.
The BBC (a state sanctioned organisation from the Crown) being a major source of information in the UK? Normal.
Social media platforms being broadly influenced and manipulated by their American owners? Nothing wrong happening here.
Chinese schools raise the flag and kids sing the national anthem? Indoctrination!
Chinese media being heavily controlled by the state? Propoganda!
Tiktok being manipulated and controlled by their chinese owners? Espionage! The fact that China bans foreign social media platforms? Censorship and control!

Usually that or rispettare le donne. Often after hitting or disrespecting them.

I might watch more American movies if we took more cues from Bollywood. Those boys know how to get down!

i agree. as a side note, I searched this song on the youtubes and this is the first time i've heard this song in english. I like it better in spanish but that might be because I'm more used to it that way

80's Miguel Bose was definitely not something I expected to see on lemmy.

Too bad that Bollywood knows jackshit about telling great stories. I am not sure about the current Hollywood too.

they appeal to the lowest common denominator, the US has a lowest common denominator of 350 million, and india 1.4 billion.
