Mao's Club?

Derek notices strikingly similarites between a Sam's Club advert and Maoist propaganda at freedomdogs.com:

No, I'm not making this up. Reader's of this blog know I have a way of making things happen graphics-wise. I assure you, the blue postcard above is an untouched piece scanned as it came in the mail.

But when you combine a vigorous attractive young Asian family in high contrast with Stalinesque fonts and the poses we are all too familiar with...well, you know.Then, there's the headline choice, "FOR ALL", C'mon if that ain't a poke at the Great Leap I don't know what is.

Compare the original postcard with a few samples from the glory days of Maoist propaganda posters. Wonderful illustration . Horrible goals, but they sure knew how to sell ideas.

Be sure to check out the visual evidence for yourself.
