A most excellent 60s-style educational video as political trope. Here the tripped-out, balloon-high cartoon nirvana melds well with far-flung but close-hitting ridicule of the pinstriped emperor.
Don't be fooled like I was till half through: this is topical, not a vintage conceit.

Really interesting site! Hope you don't mind, but I'm gonna put this video on my site too. Keep up the great work!
At last ... someone else has seen the light!
When I look at the old world maps with Britains "possessions" I tend to think about our explorers and discoverers and realise 'not heroes but pirates!'
Haha! Very funny (in a sad truth kind of way)
: )

Methinks a couple hits of windowpane would complete the essence of this flashback! Not that I do that...er...anymore!
Funny! Entertaining! Interesting! Wrong!
Thanks though- really enjoyed the tune and the singer. They did a great job of ripping off the authentic School House Rock feel.
Nice video!
