You're right, Chaw.
It's also ironic that pop culture had a hand in bringing down the Iron Curtain, by spreading throughout the Eastern Block and Soviet Union 20 yrs ago. Now, a similar group of impressionable young people, driven by pop culture, are going back to the ideals and items that represent Communism and the previous Eastern Europe (e.g., Note Vlad and his username).
Sad, but it's their right of free expression. Too bad their pop idols didn't/don't support free speech and self determination, but genocide and horrific oppression instead.
