I honestly can't believe no one has mentioned Team America. It makes fun of the U.N. (and their irrelevance), Michael Moore, liberal Hollywood, the gay agenda in broadway musicals. It shows terrorists and Kim Jong Il for who they are, and has an overall conservative point of view.

== [[Star Wars]] ==
[[Star Wars]] certainly looked like a fable concerning the triumph of good against evil. But that was before the prequels came out. ''Revenge of the Sith'' said it all.
The problem: the Galactic Empire is a metaphor for the [[United States]]. It started out being a metaphor for [[Nazi]] [[Germany]]--but clearly [[George Lucas]] is one of those who equates [[George W. Bush]] to [[Adolf Hitler]].
The particular enemies of the Old Republic looked like a metaphor for Muslims; I couldn't be sure.
But did anyone notice that Galactic Imperial personnel were all [[Caucasian]] and exclusively male? Furthermore, the officers all spoke either with [[United Kingdom|British]] or [[United States|American]] accents. (The troopers don't matter anymore; we now know that they are all clones of Jango Fett.)
More to the point: the rebels were the "diverse" lot.
Hint, hint--diversity is good; a unified culture is evil.
I therefore respectfully recommend that we scratch [[Star Wars]].--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 14:27, 28 July 2007 (EDT)
