Italian version .art 30.04.03 Playing Card Deck, western criminals playing cards. The activists of gatt.org have struck again, releasing a new product 'which openly ridicules the arrogance of the american government. ''Playing Card Deck'' is a perversion of the infamous iraqi wanted 'criminals playing cards. Describing the preemptive war waged by the USA 'as a deliberate destruction of the iraqi people and culture, they made 'another set of 'cards' depicting the faces and roles of shady 'politicians and businessmen of the american 'regime'. The symbolic 'power of those playing cards, an american folkloristic medium, is 'therefore hurled back at its promoters. The 5 Mbytes PDF file is very 'similar to the original, but also contains joker cards, in the same 'language the armed forces use to describe people who are to be removed 'from their institutional and private offices. Using the same tools, 'they achieved a spectacular overturn of the propaganda which asked to 'the recipients of the message to 'prevent these people from committing 'other crimes'. The precious european 'allies' are of course featured as 'well: the 7 of clubs is Aznar and the 7 of hearts is Berlusconi, with 'two funny pictures. |
