Beware the media you consume. Hidden agendas and veiled messages run rampant throughout all avenues and facets of television, theatre, film, music and literature. Even your commercial breaks. What’s more alarming is that this covert propaganda is nothing new. Like pimping, it’s been going on since the beginning of time. And it’s gonna continue straight ahead until somebody out there turns the lights off on this small planet.
Can you dig it?
Some of these messages are harmless, comedic even. Like Scar from “The Lion King” being a subtle caricature of soul singer, Nick Ashford, of Ashford and Simpson. Others have more serious, tragic undertones like the Mother Goose nursery rhyme, “Hey Diddle Diddle,”—a commentary on being faithful to your partner. Everybody knows at the end how the dish runs away with the spoon. Yet read between the lines and you’ll see that the dish and spoon were ill-fated undercover lovers that were fleeing for their lives and brutally murdered half a mile down the highway after being discovered by the dish’s husband, "KNIFE".
