We bring all the firesongs
Watching an episode of 24 with my mum is like playing a game of “Spot the Propaganda”. It goes a bit like this:
Women are weak! 10 points.
Those that aren’t are manipulative or plain murdering evil! 20 points.
Torture is okay if you get results with it! 10 points.
And mental torture is okay no matter what: 20 points.
Political activists are whiny ingrateful traitors! 10 points.
ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORISTS! 10 points.
Except if they’ve lived in the ‘States long enough to learn good American values: 20 points.
Breaking the law is quite fine if you’re right! 10 points.
Even if you point guns at innocent bystanders and threaten to kill them, quite likely mentally scarring them for life: 20 points.
130 points! Not bad… and that’s just in the first 5 episodes. Let’s see how many we can collect before the show ends.
