Viva The Pop Culture Revolution!

An unknown artist repainted a Soviet monument in Sofia, Bulgaria as the Joker, Santa Claus, Superman, Ronald Mcdonald, Captain America and more, captioning it "Moving with the times." Below, the unaltered version. Now that's fine graffiti! (Stoyan Nenov/Reuters; link via Daily Mail)

The Super Mario Brothers is no mere video game, but a subtle Communist propaganda campaign — and I had no idea. Mario wears red, resembles Stalin, raises the Russian star and deposes a king. Well, I'm convinced.

Celarent has made it all the more obvious with a socialist realism version of the game, complete with backing by the Russian Red Army Choir. Its gorgeous. (Link via Miss Cellania)
