Propoganda - There was an British Actor named Ganda. The story goes that Ganda needed to change the culture of acting in his area so he started using crazy props. The miltary thought it was a sweet idea, so they began using crazy props in wars too. For instance, bunker hill, iwogihma, Gomer Pyle, to name a few. It really worked because I believe everything I read, see, and is advertised to me. "i can't believe it's not butter".
