Hi all,
Some while back, I remember having read on the newspaper about the LEGO
concentration camp controversy, and some of the debate about it; well, today
I saw a similar use of LEGO, at least in its intention.
I was watching the news on TV, and someone was being interviewed about Le
Pen's "half-victory" in French elections; For one brief second, a poster
appeared behind that person, a poster which depicted what seemed to me as a
modified minifig, using an SS uniform and Hitler-like moustache; below was
the sentence "La FN n'est pas un jeux" ("The National Front is not a game").
Two things about it: first, if someone else gets to see it, please give me
some info about this poster (which I'd like to add to my LEGO collection);
second, what is your oppinion about it? I mean, not necessarily the fact
that an extreme right party "won" an important election, but rather the use
of LEGO as a mean to express a political stance - is it "fair use" of this
toy? Is it ethical? Or even "would you do the same?"
Pedro (who loved the UN LEGO posters years ago)
