Cuz uhhh, it's ridiculous?

I mean, exaggeration and misunderstanding are very common themes in comedy. And that's exactly what propaganda is all about - making the negative sides of the enemy stand out, and even adding fictional ones.

Except propaganda can be persuasive enough so that, even after hostilities are technically over, the people still believe it. I know of such a tall tale, but I'll keep it to myself, because it's very difficult for Western cultures to accept.

It may be funny now, but when people saw this in let's say 1957, they were scared out of their minds, since back then, a complete nuclear holocuast could have occurred between the USA and her allies vs the soviet union and it's satellites.
