Digital Resistance to Political and Cultural Manipulation and Indoctrination
"The Propaganda series urges viewers to contemplate and evaluate the information they receive before accepting it as the truth; to question authority and the decisions made by those in power; to become an active participant and producer of thought as opposed to a passive receptacle for broadcast hype. The message is conveyed using a simple and direct visual language resulting in pieces that are easy to interpret and have immediate impact. In addition, animated pieces use audio/visual exclamation points to drive the message home. The purpose of this series is its message. If you agree with this message you can aid in its spread. All images in this series are public domain and I encourage you to download and distribute using the links on each piece's information page. The downloadable PDF & SWF differ slightly from the original as I have included my url to aid in the virulent dissemination of this work and its message.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is a HUGE collection of movie information. We try to catalog every pertinent detail about a movie, from who was in it, to who made it, to trivia about it, to filming locations, and even where you can find reviews and fan sites on the web. We then do our best to present this information in a manner that is easy to search and access. The IMDb started as a hobby project by an international group of movie fans (see history), essentially something by movie fans for movie fans. And despite our incredible growth, we retain that sensibility. The weekly editorial staff meeting is lunch and a movie. All the weekly status reports detail three things: what we did for work, what we did for fun, and what movies we saw. And our staff is still spread around the U.S. and Europe. We are some of our site's most hardcore users. Our managing director claims to have seen over seven thousand movies. Most of our people could write or win a movie trivia game show. One of our proposed slogans was "we just love movies." As big and intimidating as we may seem because of our millions of monthly visitors, we're just a bunch of hardcore movie fans who still can't get over the fact that we're getting paid to keep improving this tool we use so much for our own pleasure.
