Weird flash animation

What do you guys make of <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.devilducky.com/media/898/" target="top">this</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->?<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Can your gentle hearts stanmd {sic} the true horror of the Terrible Secret of Space? Flash set to the music of The Laziest Men on Earth.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>I followed a link from another site, bored and looking for amusement. "Devil Ducky" is a little misleading. <br><br>Depicts an epic battle between "pusher" and "shover" robots, protecting us from the "Terrible Secret of Space" who shake hands in the end. An obvious critique of the supposed two party system <br><br>Contains some very disturbing imagery.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Hi Sunny<br><br>Thanks for the link. It does have some disturbing images. <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>'We are here to protect you.'</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> is the most disturbing image of all.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>GC <p></p><i></i>

You're welcome greencrowO. It disturbed me enough that I wanted to get others' take on it.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>'We are here to protect you.' is the most disturbing image of all.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>the battle cry of tyrannies from the beginning of time, eh?<br> <p></p><i></i>

Just some 16 year boys having fun. Like they said, it's based on an IRC prank and on a famous japanese game "Zero Wing" that was badlytranslated. <br><br>Search for "All your base are belong to us." What you'll get is the result of lots of creatives having fun and scaring the crap out of the bourgeoisie. <p></p><i></i>

It's only The Laziest Men on Mars playing with heads. Just google 'em for lots more fun and fables.. <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laziest_Men_on_Mars.">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The...n_on_Mars.</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> I'm no fan of techno but this I can listen to this...<br><br>Disturbing yes, and warning? That's the impression I got from their earlier stuff.. not so much alien invasion but authoritarian clampdown<br><br>What I find more disturbing than the video itself is the timing and. It's obvious from the quality and format that there's money behind it now.<br><br>Definitely a propaganda exercise.. but who's? <p></p><i></i>

you find those images of people dead with their throats slit a joke? THAT is disturbing, no matter what the creators intended. <p></p><i></i>

[bvonahsen]

You are absolutely right sunny - it is disturbing imagery. I wasn't really responding to you but to those who thought it was sinister propaganda. And yeah, it is supposed to be a joke. 15 to 16 year old boys have pretty much had the run of the internet for a long time. <p></p><i></i>

have to admit i didn't watch the whole thing before commenting/ranting... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Hmm, yeah it has some slightly disturbing imagery, but so what?<br><br>I mean, it's clearly <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>intended</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> to be a bit creepy; i mean, it's about evil robots!! <br><br>And using old photos of war + horror in a techno video isn't exactly a groundbreaking idea... <br><br>There's nothing in there that's out of keeping with cynical + nonsensical internet humour as found on sites like somethingawful.com, and no evidence that this is propaganda of any kind. <p></p><i></i>

Perhaps I read too much into this but having seen AYB before, and got the joke, the new (to me) Terrible Secret with slicker production and sicker imagery looked more like a hijacked meme than a bit of a laugh.<br><br>As I'd just been reading <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2006/07/rape-murder-and-conspiracy.html">cannonfire.blogspot.com/2...iracy.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> maybe I made some mental associations others wouldn't.<br><br>But after a quick look at the producer's previous works..<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.deadsexythemovie.com/">www.deadsexythemovie.com/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2417106">www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2417106</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>I'm still not sure.<br><br>Anyone know anything more about <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.jonathonrobinson.com/about_home.htm">www.jonathonrobinson.com/about_home.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> ? <p></p><i></i>
